Creations AU, But I obnoxiously over explain it PT 8
Holy crap how are there 8 parts.
211-240
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well it took 200 pages but he cracked like a damn egg in front of someone.
Sammy's a cool dude though.
Again we see characters treat Mike rather, differently because they know something about him we are assumed not to. or at least don't have full context too.
He's delicate and understanding towards a complete WTF situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sammy's continues to be a delicate dude about Mike's horrible horrible ordeal.
Mike's memory is fuzzy atm.
Apparently they were gonna "Talk to a puppet"
Ya know that thing we saw as a plushie earlier on. Sammy seems to think that's weird.
and holy shit it's a corpse.
Tumblr media
Haha don't yell in front of the traumatized man in shock at who he's looking at. Sammy quickly rights himself as soon as he notices that.
Sammy seems way more upset about Mike being put in danger than having to help him. X'D He's used to bullshit I suppose.
"Prank" our asses Michael you got impaled.
Tumblr media
So the owners know about Mike's mental health struggles and an illness we aren't quite privy too. One that makes it hard for Mike to distinguish reality.
Thanks Michael.
Makes sense why William was so weird. (Still handled that poorly)
Sammy's handling it a bit better in the sense he isn't acting like Mike's unhinged or dangerous and he's clearly not scared to be in the same room as Mike, but is being delicate and soothing for Mike's sake.
Also: Michael has a history of doing "Crap" which is amusing. Wtf are you doing Michael. X'D
Tumblr media
You can see why I like Sammy right? X'D
Specifically his line "DON'T APOLOGIZE TO ME APOLOGIZE TO HIM"
Dudes got his priorities are in place. He doesn't want Michael to kiss his ass he wants him to make shit right with Mike. Ya know, the person actually most affected by this shit.
We can see between the two Sammy is clearly the more responsible one and despite Michael's shit talking earlier Sammy is pretty level headed.
We can see why they don't get along though.
Also because heights/panel layouts are hard: Sammy is around the same height as Mike, aka he's short lmao but they're just shown at head level for convenience reasons.
Tumblr media
Sammy is literally that one meme of the woman holding the guy pointing at the other woman angrily.
He continues to be responsible by NOT letting Michael take Mike home lmao. Let's be real I wouldn't trust Michael to do smth like that either. X'D
Tumblr media
Haha Mike you still aren't okay are you?
Sammy's still trying to be nice.
Tumblr media
Sammy that's a weird response...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh. He's nuts too!
Mike's response to Sammy's insane rambling about not being sure he's a real person is just
"...Yeah"
Lmao. Seems Sammy has had a colorful past with Freddy's himself. Makes sense he's one of the owner's son.
Which makes his relationship with William very...questionable from an age/how long they've known each other angle. If you were curious about why Michael was possessive over Mike earlier and called William a "Gross old man" now you now. William's having relations with his business' partner's son who's presumably older than Michael but stillllllll wtf Will. X'D. Healthy relationships isn't something this series thrives on if you haven't noticed.
Also: Silver eyes reference with the Spring Bonnie panel.
Fourth closet reference with "Fake Charlie".
The panel where Sammy's face is an endoskeleton is symbolism by the way, not directly "real".
The depths of Sammy's paranoia and anxieties he's not real is justified. How WOULD you know if you were a fake person? XD
What I like during this convo is Mike asking directly if Sammy thinks he's crazy and Sammy swiftly responding with "Not really no"
Tumblr media
Ahh. So Mike for sure has an illness that makes him see things that "aren't there".
(It's never directly stated to be schizophrenia because I don't like writing illnesses I don't have 1 to 1, but what Mike's been experiencing LATELY Has not been apart of his illness, as he's medicated and as we've seen: Cody was very much real.)
And we hear it from Mike: He thinks everything he's seen with Cody so far has been a dream of some kind. Since again, he's on medication he shouldn't be hallucinating.
I forgot this was the case till going back and looking into FNAF stuff again: Mike's character trait of hallucinating was based on the player character "Mike Schmidt" having hallucinations/the "Rare screens" in FNAF 1.
Something I've hoped ya noticed: Mike's character arc is gaining friendships and relationships and getting over what happened at Freddy's.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lol so you COULD see as this purely as Sammy being manipulative buuuut here's how it is to me:
He cares enough about Mike's health to let him have a break at all. He cares about the robots happiness because replacing nightguards is implied to be stressful for them.
He's a "Try to keep everyone happy" kind of person lmao.
Also new character yay.
Tumblr media
Lmao. She's weird.
This is Mike's roommate! :D We knew he lived with someone and now this is just conformation.
She looks familiar....
Wonder if we've seen ANOTHER red head who's associated with green....Oh yeah. The ghost that spoke to Bonnie briefly.
Tumblr media
Something brought up before: Sammy hired Mike so Sammy is technically Mike's boss.
Tumblr media
This art style wise was when I decided: I just needed to get pages done and I didn't super care about the quality (Still feel that way)
the first arc isn't my favorite. FNAF 3 was fun because of our 2nd favorite local hoe behind Freddy himself, known as Andrew Sister Location was a SLOG It was LITERALLY just the game dialogue and occasionally I had fun with Josh, but it differed enough from the game that I NEEDED to do it bleh and FNAF 4 had it's moments again, everything original was fun.
Twisted ones and Pizza Sim are my favorite concept wise because that's when shit SUPER hits the fan. They aren't directly 1 to 1 with anything so I can go nuts.
The FNAF 1 arc mostly ESTABLISHES a lot so when we get to BATSHIT INSANITY nobody's confused who everyone is and what their relationships to each other are.
Anyway: Mike explains wtf they were doing at Freddy's to this woman, clearly SHE'S the person he's been conspiring against Freddy's with.
Tumblr media
The Puppet is a fan favorite design in Creations and to this day I don't get it:
I gave the regular puppet HAIR. That's about it. X'D
Either way: Mike can't fully trust the info given during this because of Michael's "Prank".
Keep in mind: They went her presumably to discuss how to fix Freddy's. Which is what Michael and Mike were talking about before shit went wrong.
Sus things:
Michael knows about the "Putting people in robots" thing or at least is implied to know. How and why does he know that? Michael's friends/acquaintances with the girl who put his brother in the Golden Freddy costume. Does he KNOW Cody's fate? How does he feel about these things?
Tumblr media
So Mike presumably waited 5 years to do anything about what was happening at Freddy's because he wasn't ready to confront this.
William was committing the "Main" murders that caught Mike's attention 5 years ago. They conformed there ARE more than Jeremy by mentioning "victims" but he came HERE after an incident at a sister location Fredbear's having children and the owner go missing.
Michael woke up from his accident 5 years ago.
Afton has dabbled in making robots that look and act human.
and the suspected main goal from this was to create robots that had human souls/remnant inside them.
HMMMMMM WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON LMFAO.
Tumblr media
Lol oop-
Sooo question: Does Sammy know about his sister being in the puppet? X'D
If he does it'd make sense why he was confused Michael and Mike were talking to her lmfao.
Also if you're FNAF savvy you're probably wondering wtf is up with Fake Charlie and all that. Considering Charlie is APARENTLY STILL ALIVE. Huh.
I have a comic planned explaining all that BS with Sammy, Charlie and "Fake Charlie" and the puppet. Because it is left almost completely not answered in the main series lmfao.
Suffice to say: Mike's "WTF" attitude is pretty spot on.
The robot Sammy ran into that looked like his sister isn't the one currently walking around AS his sister, since they presumably dismantled it from his comment about it bleeding and the Puppet is his REAL sister.
And there's just something/someone walking around claiming to be Charlie.
Tumblr media
OH.
SO JOSH IS MISSING NOT DEAD?~
SL readers again, know what happened But I'm being cheeky here until we review SL too.
So Michael seems to think Josh is "Dead". That's weird. Why would he think that exactly? With the specific detail of dying from machinery? Is this something his dad told him to keep quiet about?
Michael does seem to know a lot more than he SHOULD.
Lmao our new gal pal suggesting zombies is funny especially if you know what happened to Josh.
Dead people don't stay dead at Freddy's lmfao.
Tumblr media
HAH HE RECORDED THAT CONVERSATION.
Tumblr media
Haha wonder if that important thing has been staring you right in the face.
No the series is not subtle about who it is but it was never meant to be a "Twist". UNLIKE THE SILVER EYES SERIES
The evidence to who the robot is is made obvious from the start, it's not meant to be an ass pull. You're supposed to be in on it. You're waiting for everyone to notice the OBVIOUS but the OBVIOUS isn't relevant to completely see until later.
You know they're weird the second they appear on screen lmfao. The denial comes from the very idea a PERSON robot is a thing is hard to believe. So the CHARACTERS are in denial this person is a robot. BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU ASSUME A NORMAL HUMAN IS A ROBOT!? X'D
Humans dismiss a LOT of shit until what they're looking at is undeniable. Mike's still in denial what he's thinking is the 100% fact because holy shit this entire situation is BONKERS.
Everyone in the building is BONKERS. Everything that goes down in there is BONKERS.
And even worse: Mike cannot trust his own eyes fully because of his hallucinations.
Like if someone you met had a few oddities with them your first thought wouldn't be "Oh they're a robot" it'd be "Oh that's weird" and it would build, and build and build until you're like "Oh..."
It's the fucking invader zim affect lmao. An alien being in your god damn class is so out of the realm of THINKABLITY you wouldn't even think that's a possibility.
Of course: Our characters are AT the point where "A human robot is a possibility" now all that's left is waiting for them to realize WHO it is and fully connect everything together.
Tumblr media
Mike's still in denial. Poor dude is used to having to not fully trust what he sees/experiences. Which sucks.
Tumblr media
HAHAHA YES TALK TO FREDDY. >:)
SHOW US THE BEAR MIKE!!!!
Tumblr media
Haha his friend/roommate is a goof.
Tumblr media
...I hope the cut to Michael is as funny to everyone else as it is to me considering wtf they were JUST talking about.
AND OKAY MICHAEL HOW COULD YOU HURT BONNIE'S FEELINGS LIKE THAT?!
He's playing on the Pikachu and Eevee switch which either conforms he has 3 switches or 3 sets of joycons at least lmao. Rich little shithead.

hate to love with mason, like something happened when you guys met that makes you dont like each other at first, but things change to a love feeling
“Watch where you’re going, just nearly wiped me clean out” you heard a vaguely familiar voice say as you lifted your head to met the gaze of the person you accidentally bumped into and basically “wiped clean out” although you were the one who was currently lying on the floor. “Well excuse me but, firstly you’re the one who knocked me off my feet and secondly the one who had your eyes glued to your phone instead of looking where you were walking” you huffed, picking yourself and your fallen belongings up off the tiled floor and brushing off the dust, a frown on your face as you kept an eye on the recognisable footballer.
“You could just say sorry you know, accept the blame and move along...Y/N” he firmly spoke, leaning closer to see the name on your badge that was pinned to your Chelsea uniform, “I don’t apologise for something when I’m not the one in the wrong” you replied, flashing him a fake smile and rolling your eyes. “The newest physio eh, I would say it’s nice to meet you but then I’d be lying” he, very cockily said, giving you the same false grin, “you and me both, so if you don’t mind, I have a job to get to. Oh and I hope we can stay out of each other’s way if that’s not a problem” you sarcastically laughed, pushing him aside and strolling away down the corridor whispering a little “dickhead” under your breath, “I heard that” you heard echo down the hall, “good, you were supposed to”.
———————————————
“You have to be having a laugh right now’ you sighed as the one and only Mason Mount cane wandering into the room and placed himself comfortably on the table, after a good month of avoiding one another’s presence that seemed to have come to an end which you weren’t best pleased with but I mean it was bout to happen seeing as you technically work together and see each every other day. “Let’s get this over and done with then...can you lay flat on your front please” you asked in a softer tone as he nodded and did so, “ow- it’s a bit cold isn’t it” he winced as you poured the cool oil on his leg and began massaging it in, “you’re such a baby” you gently giggled, shaking your head as you continued to do your job. “You don’t have to be so rough you know, if you’re not careful the things gonna snap in half” he gasped as you completely ignored his words, already sick of him and he’d only been in the room for two minutes, “oh you haven’t seen rough yet Mount” you casually replied, applying the tiniest amount of pressure just to aggravate him that little bit more.
“So about the other week...I’m sorry, it was totally my fault and I should’ve had the decency to just apologise and get over it” he mumbled after a while, breaking the awkward silence between the both of you, raising his head so he was looking deep into your eyes, catching you off guard as you stumbled over your words for a reply, “oh I erm...thank you, it means a lot. To be fair I was just as stubborn and made a big deal about it” you warmly smiled back as he let out a nervous (ish) laugh. “You were right to call me a dick too, I can’t believe I treated you like that on your first day” he said, shifting his focus away from you and looking back down as your grin never faded from your lips, “well I can agree with you on that one...but we all have off days, I know I can be a right bitch to people at times even through I don’t mean it, it just happens” you shrugged, grabbing a towel and wiping your hands before the two of you began a convo about the most random things, seeming more friendly with each other.
“right all done, you’re free to go and hopefully not see me for another month” you joked ten minutes later, falling into a fit of laughter as he sat up and shoved on his sliders, unable to hold back the smirk that was slowly forming on his mouth, “it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be, I’ll happily admit that, still not the biggest fan of you though” he jested, winking while doing so as you placed a hand in his hair and ruffled up the partly gelled locks, making him groan in annoyance, leaving you quite satisfied as you turned away.
“Do you fancy going for a drink sometime next week after work?” you heard him ask, the nerves clear as ever in his trembly voice, “I’ll have to check what’s on the agenda because I’m always busy me...eat, sleep, Netflix, repeat” you giggled before giving him a nod, “yeah a drink sounds nice, only if you promise to watch where you’re walking this time and not shove me on the floor” you went on to say, unable to resist the little dig towards him. “I swear I will try my best Y/N” he dramatically said, taking the mick as he placed a hand on his heart, “I’m looking forward to our date” he whispered, swiftly passing you as he headed out the room, leaving you with a lingering grin across your lips ❤️

Liam & Edie
Liam: [a picture of Rio with her eyes crossed out like 1. Miss you and 2. Guess who I just talked to]
Edie: ofc she did 😑
Edie: what’s the damage
Liam: 0 to us I deflected the - to Lexie
Liam: do you want her framed for jumpscaring herself or is there anyone else
Edie: That’s all she cared about?
Edie: Bitch
Liam: it just didn’t take no time to convince her we’re perfect for each other
Liam: bc we are
Edie: yeah we are 🥰
Edie: surprised she copped to anything of the sort though
Edie: clearly can’t resist being nice to you
Edie: Lexie needs to calm down
Edie: 🤔 I mean, be kinda fucking hilarious if everyone reckoned she was doing it to herself
Edie: but maybe I’ve been too mean already 🥺
Edie: what do you think?
Liam: I think it’s pretty close to showing everyone her true colours if we do, Lex has gotta have been talking to your sister about me, I could tell, she thought I was a dick before I talked her round
Edie: She wouldn’t be happy for me unless you were a total 🤓 with no dick
Edie: that’s just what she’s like, crazy
Edie: but also not a stretch to see Lexie being a gossipy cow, I’ve heard her on other people before so
Edie: why would I give a fuck if her life is ruined
Liam: she basically accused me of wanting to hit you up for one reason and then wanting to immediately dip, if she thinks that’s what I’m like that’s only coming from one person
Edie: She’s pathetic
Edie: it’s clearly her saying it because you didn’t sleep with her
Edie: it wouldn’t be hard to spoof some shit, make it look like her
Edie: and she has nothing to say it was me, or you like she thought, and it weren’t no one else so she’s fucked, basically
Liam: [send her some shit that you’ve already started to work on because you knew she’d agree with this plan and the bits of the Rio convo where you said you’d try and find out and made it sound like you thought it was her but obvs it couldn’t possibly be hehe]
Edie: You’re so smart
Edie: She deserves this, she was definitely bitching about you, you can tell from how hard Rih said she weren’t
Liam: don’t be upset with me, but I was thinking about how Lexie also deserves to see us together and you happy and I invited them both to your show
Liam: you did say you want your family to take your music seriously
Edie: I’m not mad
Edie: You invited Rih too so she isn’t going to think you’re trying to get back with her
Edie: and I get to rub that and the fact I’m talented in her face?
Edie: It’s a good idea, baby
Liam: still, if you wanna create me in game and spend your time testing out different murder options, I won’t be mad, I should’ve asked you if it was a good idea before saying yeah to having us all there
Edie: [an 8-bit Liam but obvs we’re making an 8-bit us to smooch him not murder him, a lil gif moment of this or whatever it would be]
Liam: you only want a play through where we 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻
Edie: that might make the thread 🤮 but idk if they’d be 😱
Liam: we’ll keep it off thread
Liam: [send her the floor plan to where your dad lives/holiday cottages so she can build it in sims like my boo would, live your dreams kids]
Edie: don’t need to make 50k nerds jealous, I get you
Edie: [just nerd out with that]
Edie: I’ll show you how generic the 👶 is
Edie: very rude
Liam: if the mods and cc don’t fix it, I’ll pretend I don’t 👀
Edie: the 👀 are already insane colours
Liam: no match for yours in real life
Edie: [pics forever]
Edie: [obviously also make your enemies to actually kill and send that]
Liam: if you sent it to Lexie nobody’d believe she created herself looking that accurate
Edie: harsh reality of a sim
Edie: the alpha CC does look like her facetune attempts, tbf
Liam: at least you can make her try to seduce the grim reaper instead of me
Edie: she’ll have ample opportunity to meet him
Edie: [all the dramatic deaths cut with her sim when they get hysterical]
Edie: I’m still mad at her
Edie: Rih blatantly thinking it was me too, not surprising but still 🖕
Edie: how’s it been today
Liam: only bc she knows how smart you are and most people who Lex hangs out with ain’t, I barely had to cover for you so she don’t really wanna think it
Edie: story of her life
Liam: how 😡 are you
Edie: it’s exhausting being mad at her, there’s nothing to do
Edie: people like Lexie, you can fuck with, or care even less than that
Liam: would it make you feel better to fuck with Lexie more
Edie: I wanna make you feel better more
Edie: you must be feeling as bored and crazy as me, if not more
Liam: if I could feel anything it’d be 💔 you’re not happy or here
Edie: is it worse
Edie: nothing
Edie: maybe that’s stupid
Edie: nothing seems preferable sometimes but only sometimes, which is maybe what takes it over feeling too much
Liam: it’s isolating, everyone expects me to feel too much, that’s acceptable, even years after
Edie: acceptance would be easier
Edie: you have me
Edie: no matter what
Edie: idc if no one else gets me, you do
Liam: I dunno what it says about people that they’d be happy if I was going round punching holes in walls but I know my ma would
Liam: she looks at me like she’s waiting for it, watching for a massive crack or something
Edie: they’ve got their reason, they want the reaction
Edie: then they can link a and b and ???
Edie: problem solved, not really
Edie: but they understand it and can wash their hands of you
Edie: that’s what they give a shit about
Liam: yeah
Edie: enough sympathy and hot meals dropped off and you’ll be ‘fixed’
Edie: you weren’t even the sick one
Liam: get enough hobbies, a part-time job, a girlfriend, move the fuck on
Edie: right
Edie: it’s so
Edie: I can’t think of the word
Liam: “she’d want you to be happy/have a life” no she fucking wouldn’t, she wanted it for herself
Edie: dead people get sainted
Edie: no room for who they actually were, better and worse
Liam: she’d hate me having any of those things just to rub in her face
Edie: what was she like, between being sick
Liam: I’ll show you
Edie: do you reckon she’d want you to remember what she’d want for you then, instead of how she was at the end
Edie: not to be like every other cunt about it
Edie: not that simple, or at all
Liam: she was a teenage girl, she’d probably want me to do more fitting in too until I’ve completed the coming of age shite milestones everyone else is, instead of telling other teenage girls from the internet how fucked up I am 😏
Edie: I think that might be a milestone so 👏
Edie: the bullshit of your sister not having her own life to live dealt with then, in this scenario
Edie: we have to find what you want
Edie: even if that’s not 🤵👧🐶🧒👰 with me
Edie: not gonna be Lexie about it, you know
Edie: I’ll still help you find it
Liam: I want you, not to be gay about it
Liam: to see where this is gonna go, how far I can take it before it ends
Edie: then let’s do it
Edie: what can I do today
Liam: what would you be doing if you could do anything
Edie: that’s the problem
Edie: I wanna be with you
Edie: but I don’t know what we’d do yet
Liam: I said I’d show you what my sister was like, the quickest way to do it is to act like nothing matters, your behaviour has no consequences
Liam: it’s not about me at all, only what you want, what’s gonna happen
Edie: and I can’t hurt you
Edie: because you don’t feel anything yet, yeah?
Liam: you can’t hurt me
Edie: you promise
Edie: do that and then we can do what I want
Liam: how do you want me to promise
Edie: 🤏🩸
Edie: mine is 📫
Liam: [brb father he’s gotta go draw some blood and put it into something she can wear as jewellery like Angelina Jolie and record the endeavour to send to the bae]
Edie: [that’s exactly what we gonna send, I know you can legit buy them so I’ll find a cool pic tah, his poor father so confusion]
Liam: [great minds boo]
Edie: kiss it better for me
Liam: [send her another video boy we’re in this deep]
Edie: god
Edie: okay, what do you do to relieve stress, let go and let off steam
Edie: do that
Liam: what do I do or what should you, bc I have an idea that I think would make you feel better about your sister
Edie: you can start by telling me what I should do because I’m intrigued
Liam: she said she’d lose it at Lexie if she did anything to you, if you lower your IQ by at least 100 you could have fun trashing her room but making it look like she did it herself to frame you, you’d have to wait til she was forced out with her family and bc there’s no check in or selfie proof everyone would just think they’re covering for her, but that’d be the only boring bit
Liam: your sister would feel bad for falling for it and believing you might be involved at all
Edie: I definitely don’t want to see her at mine ever again
Edie: I’ll do it
Edie: Bet she has a shrine to you
Liam: a curse would explain me being dead inside
Edie: she has no ✨
Edie: so whilst I’m ripping the heads off all her 🧸s
Edie: you’ve gotta do…
Liam: 🏊 the only thing there is to do
Edie: your da didn’t come prepared? 🔥🪓
Liam: he’d be prepared with a 🧯 more like but I don’t need his help 🔥🪓
Edie: you should see if anyone is around, like anywhere
Edie: see how easy it is to 👀 them without getting caught
Liam: it’s like you know me inside out
Edie: I do
Edie: I’ve got X-Ray 👀s
Liam: next time you miss me you can do an artistic rendering
Edie: of all your vital organs
Edie: not to kill the mystery and show myself up as a fake fan on the forums
Edie: but I think the outside view of you is a lot prettier 😳🥰
Liam: ok I’ll not send you any in the 📫
Edie: only the non-vitals, tah 😏
Liam: what’s left Alexis hasn’t got in her shrine
Edie: she 🥺 so hard you gave her your gallbladder
Liam: 10% risk of shitting myself side effects after it’s gone, 100% chance of that putting her off wanting to jump me, I’d do it
Edie: no need to do that now I’m here
Edie: no one is gonna wanna jump her when she’s outed as 😵🥴🤡
Liam: I’ll keep the scalpel sharp for lads who wanna get with you when they realise you’re 🤩🤓😎😇😈
Edie: I’m not complaining
Edie: I only want you around, ever
Liam: I’ll be going nowhere without you ever when I get back
Edie: Good
Edie: because I feel like
Edie: it’s like I’m doing so much to fill my time but I still just think about and miss you constantly
Liam: I’ll climb a tree and call you from the top
Edie: Describe your view the best you can
Edie: like I’m there too
Liam: facetime’ll make you feel like you are
Edie: not quite VR but I’ll take it
Edie: talking to you feels like our own 🪐 anyway
Liam: [do climb a tree and call her because what a mood just like you’re Elizabeth Allen]
Edie: [save that tree henny]
Liam: [do we wanna skip to his bday now or is there anything else you can think of that you wanna do while he’s still away?]
Edie: [hmm, we probably know the vibe, she’s busy with all the things they’re gonna continue when he’s back, also finding the first house they can break into and stay in, fucking with Lexie loads more]
Liam: [yeah and if we do think of anything specific later we can skip back it’s chill]
Edie: [let’s do it]

Homesquared Chapter 9 Thoughts
Well Annie (and by Annie I mean Yiffany) looks pretty freaking sweet not gonna lie, I do actually like her style and look a lot, and she also talks in that maroony red color i figured she was gonna talk in just like the fabrics in Harry’s room suggested
Jesus Christ tho Jane almost feels like she’s going full sociopathic here
like oh yeah what should i do and or say at a funeral in order to garner the most correct and beneficial to me response from the masses? fake emotion on cue? taze a child through a dog collar? hmmm!!!
thats a real neato effect of turning the background dark when Annie passed out tho and the next convo implying its taking place at night time as well
Again the word Time is capitalized when referencing something of Harry’s character
I really like the nice little close conversations all the kids are having though, it feels really well written and organic, i feel like I’m starting to get comfortable in this funky little bean bag chair of an epilogue yknow?
like, despite Annie existing with her backstory and her real name and all of that, I think were gonna get some cool stuff with her! Cuz like, its not her fault all of that happened to her, and its gonna be hella interesting to see her reactions to all of that and how that plays out
I get that theres some weirdness knowing the dumb shit comes from the characters who were previously the protagonists in homestuck of olde so one the one hand we kind of expect better of them since as an audience we feel like we know them well enough to think they wouldnt do dumb stuff like this
but on the other hand, their narrative role in the epilogue is as the parents and the adults
but the “adult” figures in Homestuck Classic did all kind of freaking insane batshit crazy ass things that make literally no sense to anyone and theres practically no logic to suss out from their actions so like
i dont know, i just get the sense it kinda Fits(tm) that now that the old characters are adults, theyd start acting like dumbass adults like we got used to the previous set of adults acting like?
Like, it’s this sense that as characters in a Homestuck story, Children are the Protagonists, and as Children Protagonists, they can’t afford to be silly and dumb, they're Too Important for that shit
But the adults? They fade into the background juuuust enough that they can afford to do all kinds of wacky ass shit
So here in the epilogues, it feels like were getting a taste of that transition, our old characters becoming less of a focus, so theyre freer to act in weird and wacky ways they might not have in Homestuck 1, while our new children characters are coming from a place of dubious canonicity and wacky silliness and are now struggling to deal with this newfound sense of Importance and Weight as they ease into becoming our main characters

“Death & Rebirth” Chapter 2: Rebirth
Chapter 2: Rebirth
-1-
Immediately after getting out of bed, Kagami had invited her high school classmate Misao Kusakabe out to the shopping district and rushed out of the house. Kagami felt guilty leaving her twin sister in the dust so early in the day, but she was in dire need of a confidant who wasn't a family member.
Misao was certainly a loyal friend and made for good company - especially in as much as she probably wouldn't notice how mentally preoccupied Kagami was.
"I mean, ya think about it, it doesn't make any sense!" Misao said, her cute little snaggletooth showing amidst every word out of her mouth.
Kagami didn't know what Misao was talking about, she didn't necessarily care either. She just nodded. Misao was wearing a new shirt and a skirt Kagami had never seen before - which wasn't surprising considering she was just getting used to not seeing her friends in their uniformed colors every day.
She wasn't depressed, just lost in thought. She didn't want to be alone, she didn't know what she would do. She needed to be around someone so she didn't do anything crazy. Which is why she made the decision to call Misao as soon as she had woken up. She didn't want this to get around to her more immediate group of friends. Most especially her sister and loud-mouthed Konata.
Misao on the other hand, it was all the same to her. Kagami assumed she would talk to a wall if another person wasn't around.
She couldn't keep this up forever though. She'd have to face the music at some point.
As beautiful people walked by - regardless of whether they were male or female - Kagami would sexualize them. Sometimes feeling her nipples harden at the excitement of a beautiful woman or the natural smell of a handsome man jogging past. She didn't know how people could do it. How can they walk around like this and pay attention to anything else?
Kagami blushed, lost in her naughty thoughts, and felt a tingling, her panties moistened a little. 
"... Right?!" Misao's voice came back into focus, "What do you think, Hiiragi?"
Kagami snapped back into reality.
"Uhh.." Kagami said, "Sure."
"Heyyyy!" Misao observed immediately, switching tracks without a beat and pointing at Kagami "You're all red-faced!"
She blushed brighter red.
"What's the big deal?" Misao was confused. "You sick or somethin' Hiiragi?" "I haven't really felt like myself lately, no," Kagami admitted. Misao took a second to process this, "Soooo... Does that mean your sick?"
Kagami laughed a little, the first small feeling of happiness since last night, "No Misao, I'm not sick."
"Ya sure?" Misao confirmed.
"I'm sure," Kagami said.
"Then is it a boy?" Misao asked.
The blood rushed to Kagami's face again. She wore her emotions right on her sleeve. She'd always known this.
"So is that what all the red faceyness was about?" Misao said, grinning, "Saw something you liked, Hiiragi?"
"No! I mean..." Kagami started.
"I saw some hotties walkin' down these streets." Misao said, "Don't think I didn't catch you turning your head"
Kagami gasped, "You saw that?"
Misao giggled, "Nah, I was yappin' too much to notice stuff like that. You definitely threw yourself under the bus on that one."
Kagami sighed, annoyed, "Thanks for that."
"There's the Hiiragi I know!" Misao said, "Now come on, what boy do you have on your mind? Did he go to school with us? It wasn't 'Sebastian' was it?"
"It's..." Kagami paused, "Complicated."
Misao frowned a little, "Aw, come on Hiiragi. I mean, I know we didn't hang out much outside of school, but I'm tryin' to be a good friend here."
"You're right," Kagami grinned, "Sorry."
Misao looked to their right as they passed by a Taiwanese restaurant, a quaint establishment that had two giant posters in its window. One said, "DAILY SPECIALS!" the other, "BOBA TEA!"
"I know!" She said, stopping right in front of it.
"Huh?" Kagami said, realizing Misao was no longer walking beside her.
"Boba Tea!" Misao said, "Awesome stuff!"
Kagami backtracked a few steps to catch up with Misao "Oh. The Taiwanese bubble tea with the huge tapioca balls at the bottom."
"Um, yeah! The best drink to have deep conversations over!" Misao smiled as she grabbed Kagami by the hand, dragging her into the restaurant.
Kagami slightly resisted but allowed Misao to pull her in. "Aren't you thinking about coffee? Besides, the convo I want to have is a little personal..."
"Nah, coffee sucks," Misao said, walking up to the front counter, "Boba tea is where it's at!"
"Hello! Welcome!" They heard, the clerk calling to them as they walked up to the counter.
"Hi, nice to meet ya!" Misao said, "Just two for the bar please, we're just gonna get some boba tea."
The man nodded, "Boba tea is the reason this place stays open." He smiled and gestured for the girls to come toward him. "Boba tea is a relatively young, but very profitable Taiwanese tradition."
"Young?" Kagami asked as she and Misao followed behind him.
"It's a staple of Taiwanese culture and it hasn't even been around 40 years!" The man said, leading Kagami and Misao to the bar, pulling the tall chairs out for them.
Misao sat down, "Hehe... This is kinda cool. Feel like a big girl sitting on this stool chair." "What kind of boba tea would you girls like?" The man smiled.
"I'll have coconut with passion fruit boba!" Misao said proudly.
"Of course." The man said, "And for you?"
"Um..." Kagami started, "I'll have what she's having."
"Very good." The man said, scurrying away.
"That guy sure was happy about the significance of boba tea," Kagami said.
"Like my Dad says the only way to stay afloat is to love what life deals you." Misao said, "This guy's really invested in his job, but maybe that's because it's all he has."
"Sounds like settling to me," Kagami said dryly, "They pay him so he probably just fakes it."
Misao shook her head, "Always the depressing logic from you, Hiiragi."
Kagami sighed, putting her head on the bar, "I'm just so confused," She whined out loud.
"Oh, that's right!" Misao said, "I got so excited about the boba that I forgot what we were coming in here for. Your boy troubles! Okay, tell me all about it!"
"It's..." Kagami said, "It's not a boy." "Oh?" "It's..." Kagami thought for a second, "It's like..." "Take your time Hiiragi, don't bust a blood vessel. " "I'm just trying to think of how to word it!" Kagami snapped. "Okay, okay!" Misao laughed, "So it's like?" "Well... have you ever been through a life-changing experience?" Kagami asked. "What?" Misao replied, " Like someone dying?"
"Not really..." Kagami said, taking a second to remember how last night felt like the death of her innocence. Who knew death could feel so good.
"Becoming a millionaire?" Misao guessed again, "If you're a millionaire, you should loan me some money."
"No, not a millionaire," Kagami rolled her eyes, "Like... you ever heard of people who find religion? People, who say they're saved?"
"Like those reborn again people?" Misao said, "You a holy roller now? I always knew your family was religious but you never seemed all that bought-in."
"Not that," Kagami said, "But something just as earth-shattering changed who I thought I was..."
Misao, usually full of smiles and always talking fell silent, and in her bright brown eyes you could see immediate worry for her friend.
"Hey, Kagami..." Misao started Kagami felt a slight startle at Misao calling her by her given name. "You know I'm here for ya," Misao said, "Whatever it is, I want to help okay?"
There was a small silence as Kagami decided whether or not to fully confide in Misao. Could she keep such a weird secret? Were they close enough so that she wouldn't be totally creeped out and run away?
Before she could think about it more, the man from earlier returned, with as much gusto as ever, cups and big straws in hand. He sat down their boba teas in front of them.
"Two coconut and passion fruit for the pretty young ladies!" He announced cheerfully, "Enjoy! If you want to order anything the menu is right in front of you."
"Thanks." The girls said, and he walked away leaving them once again to their own devices.
"His happiness definitely seems genuine," Misao said after he had left, "I don't think he's faking or settling."
After a small beat, Kagami finally spoke. "Misao, have you ever had a boyfriend?" Kagami asked.
Misao wasn't expecting that and this time it was her face that flushed a little bit, "Well... I mean... Not, like, anything official or nothin' like that."
"Neither have I." Kagami said, "I think I need one in my life. I'm craving something more lately..."
Misao thought she knew where this was going, "Love?"
Kagami took a deep breath as her heart raced. It was now or never, "Sex."
Misao's big amber-brown eyes widened, her pupils shrinking as the light hit them. "Umm..."
"Please," Kagami immediately said, "Don't hate me or think I'm weird. I swear I just wanted to tell someone and I thought..."
"Hiiragi, it's okay," Misao said recoiling, "Calm down, I don't hate you. And it's not weird that a teenage girl is interested in sex."
"Is it weird that I got off to a hentai anime?" Kagami immediately followed up.
Misao, obviously taken aback again by how much Kagami had to get off her chest, after a few moments said, "Well... I've definitely heard weirder."
That didn't really make Kagami feel much better, but at least Misao wasn't running away.
"I gotta tell you Hiiragi," Misao grinned suggestively, "You're the last person in the world I expected to be a nymphomaniac."
"I'm not a nympho!" She said defensively, "I just have this new feeling and I'm confused." "Confused about?" Kagami blushed, "Wanting...to feel pleasure... I guess." "So you ARE a nympho!" Misao laughed.
"I am NOT!" Kagami shot back. "I'm..." "So you're not sex-starved," Misao said.
"I mean, it's hard to explain," Kagami started, "Konata lent Tsukasa an anime DVD. She didn't have time to watch it, so I asked if I could. She mistakingly lent her a hentai DVD."
"Mistakingly?" Misao asked, "Wouldn't put it past that girl to do it on purpose as some kinda pervy joke."
Kagami hadn't thought about that. She was surprised she hadn't.
"So you watched it and liked it huh?" Misao said.
"More than liked it," Kagami said, "I got... I got really warm and... I mean, so, I like..."
"Did ya diddle yourself, Hiiragi?" Misao said smiling.
"Ya know," Kagami said, annoyance bubbling, "For this being a moment where I spill my darkest secret you're not being very sensitive.
"Darkest secret?" Misao said, more amused, "Hiiragi if all you did was touch yourself..."
Kagami looked around worriedly, "Not so loud! This isn't really the most appropriate place for this conversation."
"I'm no sex researcher scientist person," Misao said, "But I'd say that it's very likely that most every person masturbates at least once."
"Have you..." Kagami's voice lowered to a whisper, "Ya know... Did what I did? To yourself?" "Uhh..." Misao stammered, "Well..."
"We're being honest with each other, right?" Kagami said, "Only the two of us have to know anything about this conversation."
"Yeah," Misao looked at the ground as her skin flushed, then looked back to Kagami, finding it hard to keep eye contact, "I have."
Kagami turned in her barstool to face Misao, "Oh, my God really?" Kagami grabbed her hand, "I'm not the only one?"
Misao raised an eyebrow and eased her hand free, "I told ya. Everyone does it at one point."
"What made you do it?" Kagami asked.
"Woah, Hiiragi..." Misao scratched the back of her head, "I knew we were gonna come in here for girl talk but didn't know it was really gonna be, like, girl talk. On second thought this might not be the best place to talk about stuff like that."
Kagami threw her an evil glare, "That's what I heavily alluded to before you decided to sit down in a public place for a drink, Misao."
"Well!" Misao defended, "That was before you wanted to go into detail about how we diddle ourselves."
"Would you stop calling it that?" Kagami pleaded tiredly.
"Okay, how we touch ourselves." Misao corrected
Kagami blushed a slight pink again, "Right. That." She said, looking at the ground embarrassingly.
"Okay, let's drink our boba tea!" Misao said cheerfully, "There's plenty of time for that other stuff later!"
"Right," Kagami said, smiling and feeling much more at ease, "We'll save that subject for later."
Kagami looked down at the drink in front of her, which she had yet to touch. It didn't look very much like any tea she'd ever drunk. It was cold first of all - and it had an off-white color to the liquid. At the bottom were things that looked like bubbles - the signature look of boba tea. The bubbles at the bottom of her cup were orange. Besides that, it was served in a plastic cup with a circular plastic seal covering the top of the cup. Accompanied by the sealed cup was a big, silly- looking straw still in its wrapper.
"How do I drink this thing?" Kagami asked, surveying how excessively big the straw was.
"Oh," Misao said, "Stab the straw through its wrapper to open it, then break the seal with the straw. Thrust the straw in the center of the plastic film on the cup."
Kagami did so. "Now you can drink the tea and suck the balls!" Misao said happily. "Uh..." Kagami said, "Suck the..."
There was a small beat of silence as the girls looked over at each other, noticing the presence of the double entendres. Then silently realizing that it was they who made the connection, making it clear they both were concentrating on the concept of sex.
They stared blankly at their boba teas and straws, taking a second to focus on the giant tapioca balls.
"I'm not really feelin' the boba tea," Kagami said. "Me neither." Misao said, "Still, those are pretty huge balls huh?"
Kagami turned to wave someone down, "Check, please."
-2-
On the way into Misao's home, Kagami had taken a quick glance at the front room of the house. It was pretty cluttered, at least for a Japanese home. It definitely fit Misao's personality. It was very quiet too. She wondered where the rest of Misao's family was.
"Make yourself at home, Hiiragi." Misao said, "Want anything?" "Do you have tea?" Kagami asked, "Not that Boba nonsense. Normal tea?" Misao smiled, "Sure. I was thinking the same thing. One sec."
Misao left the room for a few moments, leaving Kagami by herself in the room. Kagami was glad too, she's needed a few minutes of alone time. Telling someone your deepest darkest secret the day after it had happened was emotionally tiring and she wanted some silent time to recover. Silent time didn't happen with Misao.
She smiled slightly. Misao had definitely come through for her in a very vulnerable period and she knew that Misao would keep her secret. Even if her counseling was a little quirky, she could tell every word was filled with warmth and conviction. She was constantly making Kagami laugh, making up for the dark self-loathing place she had been it for the last day.
She was always laughing too, such a cutie. She was very cute.
Through the day, Kagami definitely felt kinship growing for Misao, sure that they would be closer than they had ever been considering Misao's open-mind and support. She had noticed that Misao looked even cuter when she smiled. That little sharp tooth of hers peaking out of her mouth was oddly endearing today. It gave her the cute and silly character that Kagami knew she could count on. It was clear she had always taken their friendship for granted. But she wouldn't any longer.
Misao returned with two cups of tea on a tray, setting them down on the small table in the center of her room.
"Two cups of normal tea, a la mode!" Misao said cheerfully. "Uh," Kagami said, "You do know that "a la mode" means "served with ice cream" right?"
"Oh," Misao said, sitting on the ground, "Sorry. It sounded cool though right?" She grinned a little embarrassed.
Kagami giggled and shook her head and took a seat next to Misao, "Misao, you're definitely one of a kind."
"Aw, thanks Hiiragi." Misao said, "You too." "I really appreciate you taking me under your wing today," Kagami said, "I was a big mess."
"Nah, don't mention it. And you weren't a big mess, we already established that. Just some tingling in the nether regions that's all."
"Put so eloquently." Kagami said sarcastically, but then noticed how quiet it was, "Hey, where is your family? I noticed it was all dark and cluttered when I came in."
"All off doing something for the summer," Misao said, "Mom, Dad, Grandma, and Grandpa went on some sort of lazy boat cruise. Big brother is off traveling with his band of college bro-types."
"And you're alone?" Kagami asked.
"Yeah, just for a couple weeks. I guess they figure I'm graduated now so I'm old enough to fend for myself." Misao said, "But I'm kinda messy so I should probably clean up before they get back. Grandma likes to keep the place all shiny - always on my case about it."
"I'd imagine so." Kagami said nodding, "Well hey, in return for helping me today how about I help you clean up the place before they get back?"
"That'd be cool!" Misao said, "We can make a day of it! Hang out and stuff."
"Sounds like a plan," Kagami smiled. She picked up her tea and took a sip, "Ah, that hits the spot."
"Oh! Speaking of hitting the spot, we still have the stuff to talk about!" Misao declared, "Safe from the judging ears of a public restaurant."
"Right." Kagami's cheeks took on light pink.
"It was the cheerleader squad." Misao casually blurted, sipping her own tea noisily.
"What was?"
"What inspired me to do it." Misao said, "What made me diddle - I mean, you know, touch myself. I saw them practicing after school and I guess the mental image really stuck with me."
"The... Cheerleading squad?"
"I figured if we were being honest with each other," Misao said, "I would tell you something personal. I've never really been that attracted to boys."
"Are you..." Kagami said carefully, "Coming out to me?"
Misao shrugged, "Not particularly. I mean, I think boys are kinda sorta cute, but girls are so much prettier, softer. Not as sweaty ya know? It's just not something I advertise, not like I've actually been with either one."
"And so you saw the cheerleader squad and... Uh, did the thing where you touched yourself." Kagami said.
"Yeah, Hiiragi," Misao rolled her eyes, "I masturbated at home while thinking if the cute little cheerleaders."
"Okay, wow... super embarrassing, but, um... right." Kagami flushed, "Masturbated." "I felt pretty creepy about it. Like a pervy old man." Misao said. "I've been feeling the same way all day," Kagami sighed. "Ya know what I think your solution is, Hiiragi?" Misao asked.
"What's that?" "I think you need to stop hating yourself for what you feel." Misao said, "It's not like you're doing
anything wrong." "It feels incredibly wrong," Kagami frowned.
"That's natural, in most walks of life people are taught to be ashamed of desires," Misao said, her voice now sounding intellectual, channeling her inner college student, "I mean, think about it: have you touched anyone that didn't want to be touched?"
"No..."
"Are you getting off to something that would hurt people or something illegal?"
"No..."
"So it just sounds like you're a normal person discovering herself," Misao smiled, "Like I said, love your life for what it is. It felt good didn't it?"
Kagami blushed more, "Yeah... It did."
Misao shrugged, "Who's to say you shouldn't keep on doing it? Better than sleeping with strangers to quell your appetite."
Kagami finally saw a light at the end of this tunnel. Misao was right. She was feeling excessive pangs of guilt that was a staple of any culture for females - girls who want sex should be ashamed why? Men don't get flack for masturbating... so why should she?
"There's no reason to beat yourself up about it Hiiragi," Misao said warmly, "Here's one girl who'll never judge you. You can trust me with this stuff."
Kagami smiled warmly and scooted herself a little closer to Misao, resting her head on her shoulder, "Life after high school sure is crazy..."
Misao's cheeks started to take on a light shade of pink too, "Yep! Pretty crazy..." She said, laughing and trying to hide her sudden nervousness.
When laughing, Misao exposed her little fang again, causing Kagami to stifle a giggle. "What?" Misao said, "Got something on my face?" "Your tooth." Kagami said, "The little sharp one." "Good Ol' pointy." Misao said, "Always been there."
"I know," Kagami said, "I've always liked it." Misao cocked an eyebrow, "My tooth?" "It fits with your character." Kagami said, "I've always thought it was really cute." "Yeah?" Misao said, a little flattered, "I always thought it made me look weird." Kagami lifted her head from her shoulder to meet Misao face-to-face. "Nope. Total cutie pie."
The girls stared at each other, nose to nose for a couple of seconds. Kagami took on a finger and pressed it underneath Misao's tooth, "It's not that sharp."
"Well," Misao said awkwardly, "Hopefully I don't have to rip apart an animal carcass with my teeth anytime soon."
Kagami, using the hand that was nearest to Misao's face, brushed her brown hair behind her ear, "Too cute." Kagami said, letting her hand linger on her cheek after tucking back Misao's hair.
"Hiiragi..." Misao started, looking up into her eyes.
Kagami's blue eyes locked with Misao's hazel eyes and their faces instinctively drifted towards each other, their eyes closing and lips meeting for a soft, sensual little kiss.
The two girls let their foreheads rest against one another after the kiss. Misao's heart was beating so fast Kagami could hear it.
"You're hearts going pretty fast there," Kagami said playfully.
"What are we doin' Hiiragi?" Misao asked softly, her voice frail.
"Nothing we should be ashamed of, right?" Kagami said, "And no one is here."
"Conveniently." Misao said, "Funny how that always works out, isn't it? Almost like we're in a story."
"Yeah, it really is," Kagami admitted.
There was a beat of silence, which was filled by the beat of Misao's thumping heart.
"Still," Kagami said, "Don't you want to? I mean... go just a bit further?"
"I..." Misao started but was cut off.
"Haven't you even thinking about it all day?" Kagami asked, "Don't you think I'm cute?"
Misao opened her eyes to look at Kagami.
"Always have," Misao said, as Kagami opened her eyes to meet her gaze once again.
Immediately, Misao's eyes darted to the side in embarrassment.
Kagami put a hand on Misao's cheek and caressed it, pulling her face close for a long, passionate kiss - Misao let out a small moan in Kagami's mouth.
"I knew you wanted to." Kagami smiled warmly and kissed Misao quickly again.
"This is a completely different side of you, Hiiragi," Misao said.
"Yeah," Kagami said, "It's different."
"I like it a lot though," Misao said, leaning in for another kiss - this time slowly working her tongue into Kagami's mouth.
Kagami took a cue from this and let her tongue into Misao's mouth continuing to caress her face. The two girls softly swirled their tongues in each other's mouths both letting out small high-pitched sighs every so often as they kissed.
Kagami took her hand and slid it to Misao's back, lifting up her tee-shirt and immediately going for
her bra. "Woah!" Misao exclaimed, "You really don't waste time."
"Take these off." Kagami said softly, still playfully fingering the back of her bra, "I want to see your cute naked body."
Misao blushed, "Well, my boobs are a little small so... I mean, don't expect much."
Kagami rolled her eyes, "Please. You're talking to another girl with a petite body. Take off your bra and your shirt."
"If you say so..." Misao lifted up her shirt over her head, her small breasts encased in her plain white bra.
"Your tits," Kagami said, "So cute..." "Tits." Misao said, giggling "You're a dirty talker too." "Apparently," Kagami said, slipping off one of Misao's bra straps. Misao looked down, feigning surprised, "Hiiragi..."
Kagami reached into Misao's bra and pulled out one of her small breasts and massaged it. It fit perfectly in Kagami's hand and she could feel her nipples, which were small and beautifully natural, harden.
Kagami took one finger and pressed her hard nipple in lightly, it softened but Misao let out a loud pleasurable moan.
"Ah!" Misao sighed quietly, "That feels really good..."
After massaging her breast again for a few more seconds Kagami stopped to get a full view of Misao's budding chest, still holding her hand over the one she was massaging. Kagami looked up at her, "Can I lick it?"
"Sure." Misao's face flushed again.
Kagami took Misao's small breast in her hand again and stared at her puffy little nipple.
"Here I go," Kagami said, and slowly licked Misao's nipple before putting it in her mouth slowly.
"Oh, man!" Misao moaned as she held Kagami's head and pushed it against her chest, "Don't stop, don't stop!"
"You have such beautiful little tits, Misao..." Kagami said, continuing to lick her hardened yet still soft teenage nipples. "I love licking them."
Misao moaned again, "No Hiiragi that's embarrassing!" "What, that you have a sexy little body?" Kagami said, grinning, "it's meant to be a compliment." Misao looked Kagami up and down and her body became warm. "I want I see your body, Hiiragi." Misao said, looking into her eyes, "Kagami-chan."
"Kagami-chan, huh?" Kagami said, "So we're that close now?"
"I think once you're about to get to second base with someone, it's okay to be casual," Misao said.
"Fair enough." Kagami said, giggling, "Misa-chan."
Kagami lifted her shirt, revealing her slightly smaller breasts with her pink bra covering them.
"You've got some cute tits too, Hiiragi," Misao said, "I want to do what you did to me. I wanna lick and suck yours too."
Kagami smiled, "Why don't we go to your bed?"
Kagami got up and walked over to Misao's bed, sitting down, pulling one bra strap off of her shoulder innocently.
"Wow, Hiiragi are you trying to seduce me?" Misao asked. "Not trying." Kagami said matter-of-factly, "Just did." "You think you're smooth, Hiiragi?" Misao said, making her way to the bed to sit next to Kagami. "What happened to Kagami-chan?" Kagami asked. " I'll call ya whatever I want," Misao said bravely. "Haha, that's awful defiant," Kagami said teasingly. "Shut up and get naked, Hiiragi," Misao said turning to face Kagami
Kagami did the same, turning to face Misao as well. They locked lips passionately. Misao took one hand and messaged one of Kagami's breasts, still encased in the pink bra. Kagami began to lean back and Misao took this chance to slightly but somewhat aggressively push her down to lay on the bed.
Misao laid on top of Kagami, kissing upwards from her stomach to her small tits. She kissed around Kagami's cleavage and slightly kissed the outside part of her breast. "Take it off," Misao whispered.
Kagami reached behind herself and unhooked her bra, sliding down her other strap and letting it fall in front of her as she bore her naked chest.
Misao followed suit, unhooking her bra and completely revealing both of her small natural breasts. Misao immediately leaned forward and kissed Kagami's pink nipple.
"Ah..." Kagami sighed.
Misao took her tongue and licked Kagami's nipple using her entire tongue - almost like she was licking an ice cream cone. She continued to lick Kagami's nipples lapping faster and faster.
"Oh God Misao..." Kagami held Misao's head to her chest just as she had done her, "More... More, it feels so good."
Misao took her tongue and gave it a little pressure - using it to push the top of Kagami's nipple inward.
"Haaaaaaaah..." Kagami moaned as relaxing pleasure shot through her upper body, she pushed Misao's head firmer into her chest, feeling the moisture in her panties as Misao continuously licked her breasts softly.
Misao stopped and looked up at Kagami, who was continuing to moan while catching her breath at the same time even after Misao had stopped licking. She was still audible as she sat up to survey the familiar damp spot under her. Even with her panties on.
"Sorry," Kagami said, "That's really embarrassing."
"Don't worry 'bout it," Misao said, ignoring the comment altogether and wrapping her arms around Kagami. She pressed herself against Kagami's body as she gave her another long kiss.
The girls intertwined their tongues once again and Kagami pulled herself closer to Misao and deeper into the kiss. They both felt a light, tingly pleasure as their nipples and breasts pressed against each other.
Misao looked at the wet spot on the bed again, "You're like a river there, Hiiragi." Misao laughed. "Don't laugh," Kagami flushed, "It's so embarrassing." "Just means I'm doin' a good job, that's all!" Misao said proudly. "I want to do good for you too," Kagami said.
"What'd ya have in mind?" Misao asked suggestively.
Kagami put her hand on Misao's bare chest and slid it in between her breasts, softly down her stomach and in between her legs inching up her skirt and softly rubbing against her cotton panties.
Misao sighed surprisingly and let out a light moan, "Kagami..." She said, "I've never... No one's ever, like..."
"Don't forget it's my first time too," Kagami said, "I've done it to myself... I just want to see if it all works the same. And if it makes you feel good, all the better."
"It felt so intense..." Misao said, "And you were just touching on the outside." "Can I keep going?" Kagami asked, inching closer.
A few moments later, Kagami was looking at Misao's cute panties as she slipped off her skirt. Cotton white with a tiny pink bow at the top. There was a long wet spot right in the middle as her juices automatically flowed out Kagami took two fingers and rubbed them against the wet spot.
"Oh my God..." Misao moaned, "Aaaahhhh!" Kagami took her hand rubbing against Misao and worked her way slowly to remove her panties. Misao grabbed Kagami's hand to stop her, "I'm gonna pee! "It just feels that way at first." Kagami soothed her, "Just relax." "You promise?" Misao said, her voice shaking. Kagami put one hand on Misao's face and caressed her cheek, "Misao, it's okay. I promise."
Misao's body relaxed as she accepted that the sensation was an intense pleasure. She decided she was better off basking in it, no matter what the outcome.
Kagami once again lifted the small elastic of Misao's panties and began to slip them off.
"Hiiragi, please... Please be gentle, I'm so scared." Misao said, her voice more helpless and frail than Kagami had ever heard before.
"Tell me if you don't want to," Kagami said worriedly, "I don't want you to feel like you have to because you're in the moment. I might be newly curious but I'm not a rapist."
"I do want to," Misao blurted, "I feel safe with you. But at least give me this, it doesn't matter who your first sexcapade is with... it's still nerve-racking."
"You got a point there," Kagami said, taking her hand and inching under Misao's skirt, stopping just short of her bare pussy.
Misao gasped, her eyes widening. Her mouth was left agape as she processed what was about to happen.
"Should I keep going?" Kagami asked. "Yes, Hiiragi." Misao said, "Touch me down there... Please."
Kagami took her hand and rubbed it slightly against Misao's wet vagina. While rubbing she could already feel Misao's clitoris protruding. It was bigger than hers. Misao let out a high-pitched moan as Kagami's fingers brushed over her clit.
"You thought I was a river?" Kagami smirked. "Shut up!" Misao said, flushing, "Jerk."
Kagami leaned forward for another small kiss as she continued to rub Misao's clitoris. Misao let out another moan into Kagami's mouth.
Kagami leaned back from the kiss and began to kiss down Misao's neck, down her shoulder blades to her petite breasts, and took her left nipple into her mouth, suckling a bit. Misao messaged her own right breast as she did so, intensifying the pleasure in her upper body, she felt more of her juices flow out, almost like a geyser in slow motion.
Kagami continued to kiss and lick down Misao's flat stomach, stopping as she got to her skirt. Misao took the cue and slipped off the skirt, revealing her small shaved vagina. Kagami kissed around it gently.
"You okay?" Kagami said. "Sure." Misao's voice shook slightly. "I'm going to lick you." Kagami said, "Okay?" "Please," Misao said, "It feels so good... I... I don't know where to put all of this pleasure." "Relax," Kagami soothed and slowly took her tongue and lapped it across Misao's clit. "Oh my..." Misao shrieked, "Fuck! Oh my God, Hiiragi lick me more, please lick me more!" Kagami licked up and down Misao's pussy, flicking her clitoris with her tongue. Misao convulsed
and gasped for air as she moaned.
Kagami took one finger and rubbed Misao's clit softly in a circular motion. Misao's body shook as she gyrated slightly, rubbing her juices on the sheets of her bed.
The bed was soaking wet.
Kagami licked up and down Misao's pussy slit for a minute before stopping and speaking softly, "Misao..."
"Kagami it feels so good, don't stop, please don't stop I'll go crazy!" Misao screamed. "I want to try something." Kagami said, "With my finger."
"Whatever you want," Misao said, catching her breath, "Just keep licking my pussy while you do it."
"You sure?" Kagami said. "Oh my God, whatever Hiiragi!" Misao said frustrated, "Fingers, whatever, just keep going!" Misao pushed Kagami's head back in between her legs.
Kagami slowly brought out her tongue again, picking up where she had left off. She started from the bottom of Misao's vagina and licked upwards, finally flicking her clit softly with her tongue over and over when she got to the top. Misao thrust her pelvis once more, sinking Kagami's face into her wet pussy.
Kagami pulled back and took her hand, playfully rubbing up and down Misao's wetness. She rubbed her clit softly before finally making her way down and feeling for a small opening she knew would be there. Rubbing her finger up and down Misao's pussy, she finally found it and lightly pushed her finger in.
"Haaaaaaaaaah!" Misao moaned, feeling a different type of pleasure than when Kagami rubbed her clitoris. Not as intense but somehow more... fulfilling. But it stretched her a little and she worried it might hurt.
"Be gentle, ok?" Misao said, "I think it'll hurt..."
"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you." Kagami said.
"No, I know it'll feel good and I want it," Misao explained, "But it will probably hurt too."
Kagami kissed Misao and this time took her finger and slowly slipped it into Misao's tight pussy, which immediately clamped down upon Kagami's finger.
"Ooooooh my...ahhhh!" Misao moaned, screaming at the same time, "Holy hell!"
Kagami pulled out her finger and reinserted it - a little faster this time. Misao whimpered as Kagami's finger was thrust in and out of her tight entrance.
Kagami continued, now inserting her finger and twirling it around lightly.
Misao quietly moaned in the background, her voice intermittently getting stuck in her throat as pleasure spread from Kagami's gentle fingering throughout her entire body Kagami could feel the texture of Misao's wet vaginal walls go from smooth and slippery to a little
more ruffled - a little stiffer. Misao's moans grew more audible as she felt the texture of the walls harden more and more as she messaged them with her finger - moving her finger in a slight "come here" motion as she messaged the roof of Misao's tight pink walls.
"Does it hurt?" Kagami asked, continuing to finger Misao.
Misao caught her breath to answer, letting out a light moan before she had a chance to speak, "A little, but I definitely want more. I never want this feeling to go away Hiiragi." Kagami kept on, staring at Misao's smooth pussy, "I won't stop this time."
Kagami lowered her head as she continued to lightly finger Misao's tight entrance - now simultaneously using her finger to massage her ripple-textured walls and her tongue to lick her clitoris.
"Hiiragi, it's inside me!" Misao moaned, "Your finger is inside and it feels so good!"
Kagami buried her head in between Misao's legs and sucked on her clit, using her tongue to push it back and forth out of her mouth.
"I'm going to explode!" Misao screamed, "Hiiragi is finger fucking me in my room!" She exclaimed out loud.
"I love making you feel good, Misao.." Kagami said in between licks, thrusting her finger a little faster now, "Your juices keep flowing more and more... Means I'm doing a good job right?"
"Kagami, I'm..." Misao said suddenly. Her entire body shook in sensual tremors, "I don't know what's happening! My pussy is gonna explode!"
"You're coming, Misao," Kagami said, turning herself on with her teacher-esque tone "Let it happen, it feels so good."
"Oh my God, it does!" Misao moaned again, "I'm coming! I'm coming! Oh, my G..." Her pelvis again shot up into the air, Kagami didn't stop as Misao orgasmed into her mouth. "Goddddd!" Misao gasped for air, "Oh my God, oh my God!"
She pulled Kagami's face into her wet vagina one last time as the bottom half of her body hung in mid-air and she let out a scream so high pitched that it was almost inaudible and ended as a whimper.
Her first orgasm was beyond anything she could have comprehended beforehand.
The two teenage girls laid beside each other on top of Misao's now drenched bed sheets, both gasping for air. Misao from the intense nature of her first orgasm... and Kagami from the intense nature of Misao's first orgasm.
"Whew!" Kagami said, wiping her mouth, "Almost suffocated me there." "Sorry." Misao rubbed the back of her head, "It was just..." "I know," Kagami grinned, "I understand."
"Hiiragi, I don't know what to do with myself.." Misao said, "I want to do this again and again with you."
"Preachin' to the choir," Kagami said, looking over again at Misao's sweating, naked body.
"I want to make you come." Misao said, "I just... Would you guide me? Like, tell me what to do?"
Kagami raised an eyebrow, "Ummm... The same exact thing?"
"C'mon, just walk me through it!" Misao pleaded, "Don't you want to come too?"
"I do. But maybe..." Kagami sighed, still catching her breath "We should take a little rest first."
Misao smiled, "Good idea, Hiiragi." Misao turned on her side and gave Kagami another kiss, "Thank you... So much."
"Don't mention it." Kagami said, lowering her voice to a sensual whisper, "I love the way you taste."
Misao blushed, "That's a heck of a thing to say." She said, "This was amazing but definitely super weird. Completely out of character for both of us."
"Believe me," Kagami said, "I've made peace with that."
Misao cuddled against Kagami from behind, letting her breasts push softly on her back.
"I'm glad it was you," Misao said.
"Me too." Kagami said, her eyes getting heavier, "Me too..."
Slowly but surely the girls fell asleep in each other's arms.
Misao didn't get around to helping Kagami finish again that afternoon.
But all the same, Kagami felt more like her normal self than she had since viewing that damn DVD.
As the two girls dozed off, Misao thought to herself, not sure what the future really held with this newfound hobby. She hoped it wouldn't change her friendship with Kagami. But she was also hopeful and full of butterflies. Ultimately, all she knew was that it felt good.
It felt really, really good.

Roswell New Mexico Live Rewatch - Ep 2 - So Much For The Afterglow
Buckle up bitches here we go!
Rosa and choices. mmm
Truth, so much in the eye of the beholder.
Creepy Max at the cemetary
"it'll be our secret" - "another one"
no kidding
Because you don't want to leave Liz.
Liz still wants to kiss max.
"It's been ten years, you don't know me like you think you do"
The show is many things, subtle is not one of them.
Sorry, chockie bickie break.
"way in to Tolstoy, really nice handwriting for a guy"
Fuck I love that line.
"It's just a kiss, Max"
Liz, Liz, Liz, babe, it is sooo much more than that to poor Maximo
Fuck you Jesse Manes, die in a fire.
Just shut the fuck up.
Seriously, a fucking crash landing is not a "incident of agression" you souless fuck.
Fuck me Trevino's eyes of stunning.
Ah legacies.
The Valenti Code
Kyle, Kyle, Kyle even saying they're alive is uncool dude.
Red Level Threats
Even at this stage Kyle wants to tell Jesse to fuck off.
"Brooding level, teenage girl on a family vacation", No "roadtrip with grandparents"
And this was the line where I started to dig Jenna.
Cause seriously, that is spot on.
Temper, temper Max
Tumblr media
Michael and Isobel, this is very, very uncool of you.
And the knife, Michael, very uncalled for.
Now Iz, no slut shaming
TBh, I can't really fault Max for hitting Michael here.
They were threatening Liz
probably, but still super shitty thing to do.
But interesting that the convo indicates that Max getting physical with Michael is out of character.
I don't care, I love the antenna hat. I want one. They should be the official Roswell fan uniform
Arturo is a such a sweety.
It's so sad that Liz thinks Rosa didn't love her.
Arturo advising forgiveness and moving forward. Nice forshadowing
Michael and his cool entries
Michael you cocky bastard.
And Americans should not be allowed to use berets in their military uniforms until they fucking learn to wear them properly.
Fucking just grabs his shirt and leans into this personal space.
But Alex is not having it.
Lips and tongoue
God my poor baby Michael. Deflection to cover his hurt feelings.
And Alex, why Alex? He wants you why push him away?????
"what happened, I was pretty wasted" No you fucking weren't
No Alex, you do NOT get to do a snort of disgust. No, fucking siree
God, Michael face after the santa's workshop comment and Alex walking away. He's so gone for him.
Kyle, I love you.
"mid make out abdondoment was very sophmore year"
He could't so easily have been a douche bag about it, but no, he let's Liz know it's cool between them.
It's not a bruise Kyle. you sneaky bastard
"You can trust me"
see the chemicals that made the bad choices.
"maybe I just need something else to blame" well....
And again with some damn solid and mature advice. You go Kyle.'
"don't focus on the science, focus on the memories" well doesn't that have a double meaning
Izzy and Noah
"Belt buckles as a secret metaphor for emotions"
I think someone needs to do a belt buckle analysis.
"Are you sassing Jesus"
Good one Max
Yeah, and that is such great imagery and really does sum up his character in alot of ways.
Max and his fear of what happens to miracle workers. I think it's easy to underestimate the impact of Max's powers compared to the others. In that his are more obvious and do come with more moral judgement at both their use and non-use.
And here we go with the memories part as forshadowed earlier
Rosa flash backs. They look so happy.
Totally
"if you're done praying or whatever" Don't ever change Jenna
I really need her to come back in S2
Tumblr media
I blame Due South for my "shot of cops with great backs in well tailored police uniforms kink" which Max's totally hits as he exits the church.
You know the scene I'm talking about, am I rite?
God, I still hate VV after all these years.
But I digress
Michael and Iz. I love how they are.
Day brooding.
It's not about the job Iz
Hmm I think I'm gonna have to go Liz and Mikey
And now they are going to break my heart again.
Tumblr media
Jesus Michael, these little fucking truth bombs he just drops. How the fuck can people not see his pain when he just fucking lays out there all the time?
It' really makes me hate them sometimes.
The foster ranch being the last place he saw his family and then gone  - yet another place that felt a little bit like a home taken away from him. And they make jokes.
"maybe, maybe someone would come take me home" fucking hell. Michael
Jenna being a total badass
The way she looks Wyatt in the eye as she shots out the truck tyre!! Gold
Sorta love the way Racist Hank is impressed laughing in the background
Alex in civies!! And Maria!!
And here comes a big bunch of lies that will have big consequences.
Yes he did get kind of hot Maria.
"I hadn't notice" I was going to say that Alex is a lying liar who lies. But really he isn't because he's ALWAYS thought Michael was hot.
"I did it for attention"
Nice slip Max
Maybe but I think Alex is still too in his keep things secret/private headspace
"what night?"
That's the night she died
Ah shit is about to go down...
fake autopsy you say...
murdered by an alien
More truth bombs about to land
We're family - no we're not
He tries to play it off, but it hurt that he got left behind at the group home.
I just want to give him a hug.
Yes, there is someone Michael would risk everything for. And we know who it is
Tumblr media
Gods, the longing on Michael's face when he looks at Alex.
I actually think it gets worse every time I see it!!
Seriously, just to solidfy how big a douche bag these guys are. Who beats up Arturo??
And a bit of political commentary
Uh oh. not good for Max. Liz is not a happy camper
Max, what the fuck!
Damn he looks good in the hat
Iz with that damn taser. You go girl!
Little bit hypocritical on the judge  and jury thing there Michael.
Pod Squad moment
Who's the guy?
Museum guy
Home can be a person.
Jesus this show is good at ripping my heart out.
Yeah, they are going to have to be very careful how they repair that relationship
Weather metaphors
The handprint faded.
Don't lie max, don't do it.
Annnnnnd there is my men wearing silver bracelets kink, thanks Max
Oh that look Liz gives him. That is NOT a good look.
Please stop, I have no heart left to rip out.
The ship glass is still pretty
Oh god, there is the song starting
And the photo, and his hand
The God of Wine goes crashing..
Fuck, I'm not ready for this.
Everything about the next 2 mins is just aarrrggghhhhhhh!
Alex, baby, no he's not going to Tenessee.
Alex just looks so young and vulnerable in this scene. He looks more like a teenager here than in 1.06
Fuck, here it comes.
"Who I was, when this started, before I went to war"
Confirmation that there was a "this", that it's still something.
Jesus I don't know who does their costuming, makeup and hair but fuck me they need to win an award. Michael just glows.
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
"I never look away, no really"
Tumblr media
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
That fraction of a second where Michael thinks Alex is walking a way again.
Tumblr media
Such a juxtaposition between Max/Jenna and Michael/Alex. Max looks pained (not in a good way) with Jenna.
But Michael and Alex do not.
Tumblr media
Fuck, the way Michael looks like he wants to devour Alex before pushing him on the bed.
And Alex, going for his belt and pants...
And Liz and kyle.
Who did this?
"Even if it was Max Evans"
Well, that was a bit quicker than last week.
And again, we got a jam packed episode with lots of story progress.
Having the story actually move so much from week to week is so rare these days. I love it.
But those last 3 mins. That is some of the best tv
------
I really hate Tumblr sometimes. Cause I know there were more appropriate gifs out there to use but this hellsite wouldn’t let me find them.

Fugitives- Chap 6
Previous chapters: 1 2 3 4 5
Warnings: D E A T H (someone is shot and killed, yeet), drug mention
Ship: Eventual Ralbert
I’m so so so sorry
Albert was awoken a few hours later to the sounds of people arguing on the other side of the shower curtain.  He kept his eyes shut as he strained his ears, trying to catch what the voices were saying.
“You let someone walk away?” Whispered a voice that Albert recognized as Jack’s.
“He promised he wouldn’t run his mouth,” Came Race’s reply.
“Of course he promised, Antonio,” Came another, exasperated voice, “Anyone would promise that if you shot a gun at their wall and threatened to kill them.”
“Davey’s right,” Jack said, “I can’t believe you, Race.”
“Well, what was I supposed to do?” Race exclaimed defensively.
“Kill him, Racetrack,” Jack said, his voice was gaining volume, “You were supposed to kill him.”
“Jack Kelly, you know that I can’t fucking-”
“Yes, I’ve fucking heard it.  I’ve heard a million times that you won’t fucking kill anyone else,” Jack was speaking loudly now, “I don’t know what happened to you in Prospect.  I don’t know what part you played in Rockefeller, but you’re going to have to get the fuck over it one day, because in this fucking life, you’re gonna have to kill a few people and-”
“Shut up, Jack!” Race shouted, “Shut the fuck up.  I know that I’m gonna have to kill a few people.  Hell, you’ve made me kill a few people, but don’t fucking talk to me about Rockefeller.  Don’t ever bring that up, asshole, there’s a fucking reason I don’t talk about it.” Race’s breath hitched after the last sentence.
“Both of you quiet down, you’re going to wake people up,” The other man, Davey, scolded, “Jack, leave his past out of this.  Race, take a deep breath.  We’re going to have to think about how to deal with Albert’s roommate, but for now, I think that it would be best if we all just got some rest, okay?”
“Okay,” Jack mumbled.
“Thank you,” Davey said, “Race?”
Albert heard Race take a measured breath, “Okay,” he answered, voice strained.
“Good, get some sleep, Race,” Davey instructed, “Jack, c’mon.”
Albert cracked an eye open, watching as two silhouettes walked to the other side of the theatre.  He saw Race’s shadow pacing back and forth behind the curtain a few times, before he sat down on his cot.  It looked like he was holding his head in his hands.  
Albert felt worry claw at his gut.  What were they planning to do to Elmer?  He had half a thought to send a warning text to him, but didn’t want to find out the repercussions if Jack found out he’d contacted him.  Maybe they weren’t going to kill him, maybe they were just going to recruit Elmer like they’d done with him.  Logically, Albert knew that wasn’t the case.  
Albert let out a frustrated sigh and reached under his pillow to grab his phone.  It was nearly 6:00 am, so Elmer would be waking up within the hour to go to his morning shift at the coffee shop he worked at.  
Albert clicked into his and Elmer’s texts and bit his lip, trying to decide how to word his message.
To Elmer: Bro, do me a fat favor and stay at your girl’s place for a few days.  Don’t ask questions.  I’m handling it.  Just don’t go back to our place and never go anywhere alone.
He hovered his thumb over the send button for a few moments, then delivered it.  Elmer was no doubt going to ask questions anyway, but it was worth a shot.  He deleted their conversation and slid his phone back under his pillow.  Rolling over, he noticed that Race was no longer sitting on his cot.  In fact, it didn’t look like he was on his side of the wing at all.  Albert frowned and lifted his head, glancing around the parts of the theatre that he could see, but there was no sign of Race anywhere.  He got up, curiosity getting the better of him.  Carefully, he drew back the curtain separating his and Race’s side, eyes sweeping the dark area.  At first he didn’t see anything, then he noticed Race sitting on the ground in front of his cot.  
“You okay?” He whispered, causing Race to jump violently and turn around.
His face was lined with tear tracks, which he hastily wiped away with his shirt sleeve, “What the fuck? How long’ve you been awake?”
Albert shrugged, “Not too long.”
Race stood, then sat down on his cot, pulling his knees up to his chest.  He looked tired, “Did you hear anything?”
Albert considered telling him what he had witnessed of his conversation with Jack and Davey, but thought against it, “Nothing besides you moving around.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah..”
“Sorry for waking you.”
Albert waved a hand nonchalantly, “You didn’t, I’m a light sleeper.”
Race sniffed and lowered his chin to rest on his knees, “What do you want?”
Albert glanced down, suddenly feeling guilty for invading what was obviously a very personal moment for Race, “Uh, nothing.  Just wanted to make sure you’re okay.”
Race scowled, “Well, I’m fine.  Why do you care anyway?  I’ve been pretty terrible to you.”
“I was just curious, man-” They both startled when Albert’s phone began buzzing.
Race raised his eyebrows, “You better go get that before Jack or Davey hears.  They’re really strict about phones and who we’re all contacting.”
Albert huffed and let the curtain fall back into place, once again separating himself from Race.  He took his phone from under his pillow to see that Elmer was calling him.  He quickly declined the call and clicked into his texts.
To Elmer: No calling.  Just text.
From Elmer: Where the fuck are you man???? What the fuck happened yesterday??? Are you alive?????
To Elmer: Of course I’m alive, numbnuts.  I can’t tell you where I am and I can’t tell you what was happening yesterday, but you’re kinda in danger so…
From Elmer: BUdDY you can’t say all this shit without an explanation.  I’m freaking the fuck out
To Elmer: Believe me, I am too.  Listen, please just trust me.  Where are you right now? From Elmer: Sarah’s
Albert slumped onto his cot, relief flooding his system.  Elmer was safe at his girlfriend’s place, far from their apartment.
To Elmer: Thank fuck, okay.  Maybe don’t go to work tomorrow.  Or move to China and change your name.  Idc, just please look out for yourself.  Also delete this convo
From Elmer: Albert what the fuck
To Elmer: I’m sorry.  I gotta go.  Remember to delete this.  I’ll talk to you when I can
From Elmer: Jfc ok bye
Albert erased his messages once more and laid back against his pillows.  He scrolled through Instagram mindlessly, trying in vain to get tired again.  It was nearing 7:00 am, so he assumed he’d have to be up soon anyway.  Eventually, he dozed off, phone still in hand.
XXX
“The fuck?” Albert yelped as his pillow was yanked out from under his head.
“Rise and shine, bitchatcho.”
Albert looked up to see Race hovering over him, pillow in hand.
“What time s’it?” He asked, voice still thick with sleep.
“Like, 8:00 am,” Race thwacked Albert violently with the pillow, ”We gotta long day ahead of us, so get the fuck up.”
Albert glared at him for a long moment before reluctantly sitting up, “Fine, give me like, ten minutes to change and take a piss.”
“Awesome, meet me downstairs by the storage room when you’re.”
Albert gave him a sarcastic thumbs up and watched as Race left the stage.  He pulled his jeans out from under his cot and changed into them, then went to the dressing rooms to use the bathroom.  On his way downstairs, he stopped by his bin and took out a sweatshirt, yanking it over his head as he bounded down the stairs.  
As promised, Race was waiting outside the storage room, eating a banana.  There were two other men with him, one sporting a backwards hat over his curly brown hair and the other leaning heavily on a crutch.  
“Heya, Albert,” Race greeted, “Meet Finch and Crutchie.”
The one with a crutchie leaned forward, offering a hand, “As you can probably gather, outta the two of us, I’m Crutchie.  I’m Empire’s medic, so if you’re aboutta die or some shit, I’ll patch you up.”
“Uh, sounds good,” Albert said, shaking Crutchie’s hand.  He turned to the guy in the backwards hat, “And what about you?”
“Finch,” The guy grunted.
Albert cocked his head and looked at Race, who flicked the guy in the back of the head, “Sorry about him, he’s bitter.  That’s Finch.  He’s our botanist.”
“Botanist?”
“I run our drug inventory,” Finch said, toying with a cigarette and looking entirely uninterested.
“Cool, uh, nice to meet you..” Finch scanned his eyes over Albert, who crossed his arms self-consciously.
“Likewise.”
“Well, this is cozy,” Crutchie said brightly, “Anyway, I leave you all to your work.  Just thought I’d introduce myself.  Toodles!” He waved and hobbled away.
“You gotta key, Finchy?” Race asked.
“Don’t call me that,” Finch said, fishing a key out of his jacket pocket and unlocking the storage room door.
“Oh yeah,” Race said, reaching into his back pocket and pulling out another banana, “Here, before I forget it’s in there and sit on it.”  he handed the banana to Albert, who hesitantly took it.
“I didn’t poison it or some shit,” Race laughed, “Just thought you’d be hungry.”
Albert wordlessly peeled the banana and took a bite, realizing belatedly how hungry he was.  
“Race,” Finch called from inside the storage room, “What do you need?”
“Uh, get me like, two grams of pot? And...I think that’s it.  It’s a small trade.”
“Kay,” Finch emerged a moment later holding a white paper bag.  He handed it to Race who crumpled it and put it into his jacket pocket.
“Jesus fuckin’ Christ, Higgins,” Finch held out a hand, “Give me the bag back.”
Race rolled his eyes and shoved the bag into Finch’s outstretched palm.  Finch held his glare as he neatly folded the bag over a few times, then handed it back to Race, who carefully placed it back into his pocket.
“Happy?” Race jeered.
“Extremely,” Finch answered with a fake smile, “We done here?  I would like to get coffee now.”
“Yes, we’re done, go get your bean juice.”
Finch sneered and walked away, disappearing up the stairs.
“He’s really fucking meticulous about his drugs,” Race said, zipping up his jacket.
“Meticulous,” Albert repeated, “Didn’t peg you for a fifty-cent-word kinda guy.”
“Shut up, I went to high school.  I glanced at all the SAT words.”
“Oh, did you?  So what does brevity mean?”
“Uhhhhhhh..” Race screwed up his face in thought, “I said I glanced, dude.  That doesn’t mean I retained any actual knowledge.”
“Brevity’s easy.  It’s the quality of being brief or terse.”
“Albert, have I told you you’re annoying yet?”
“Many times.”
“Okay, you’re annoying.  Now c’mon, The Bronx is waiting.”
XXX
The bleak winter air bit Albert’s face as he and Race left The Bowery.  As they walked through the street toward the nearest subway station, Albert couldn’t help but notice the strange feeling that nagged at the back of his neck.  The streets felt almost different, like they were hiding some enormous monster underneath them.  The ever-existing presence of Empire and Prospect loomed ominously over Race and Albert, blind to the eyes of other pedestrians.  He felt incredibly vulnerable, constantly paying mind to who was paying attention to them.  Anyone at any time could be a threat- there was no telling who knew what.
They caught the yellow line that would take them to The Bronx, where they were scheduled to trade with some guy in Fordham at 9:30.  It was currently 8:15 and the ride was supposed to take about forty-five minutes, leaving Albert wishing he had his headphones so he could disengage completely.
“You nervous at all?” Race’s question surprised Albert, and he turned to him
“Kinda, I guess?  How exactly does a trade work?”
“First off, for the love of God, lower your voice,” Race said, leaning in so that they could talk in quieter voices, “And it’s pretty simple.  You missed phase one, which is deciding a meet place and trade time.  We do that using the graffiti, which I’ve already told you about.  One of these days, I’ll show you the symbols we use and what they mean, but that’s not important right now.  So now, we just have to be at the coordinated location and make sure he actually has the cash he promised.  If he does, we trade, plain and easy.”
“What if he doesn’t?”
Race glanced to the side briefly, “Then, we….” he worried his lip between his teeth.
“...Kill him?” Albert tried,
Race looked down at his lap, reaching up a hand to tug at the hair on the back of his head, “I mean, no.  Killing’s not entirely necessary.  That’s like, last resort.  Like if he pulls knife on us.  Yeah, no, we’d just, like, beat him up.” He was rambling and Albert furrowed his brow.
“You alright?  Why are you getting weird?”
“I’m not,” Race said, defensively scooting backwards a bit.
“You totally are,” Albert noted that Race had shrunken in on himself, “Is this something to do with last night?  With Rockefeller or whatever Jack was talking about?” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Albert regretted them.  
He silently cursed his lack of a filter as Race whipped his head up, “What? How did you-” he scooted backwards further as his expression turned furious, “So you were listening.  You lied to me, DaSilva.  This puts you on thin fucking ice.”
Albert pursed his lips, annoyed with himself.
“If you were listening so carefully,” Race seethed, “Then you should have known not to fucking bring that up.”
“M’sorry,” Albert mumbled.
Race didn’t answer as he busied himself in pulling out his headphones, though Albert could see his hands shaking.  Albert sat back in his seat and pulled out his own phone, electing to catch up on SnapChat until they arrived in The Bronx.
Fordham was significantly sketchier than the neighborhoods Albert was used to.  The storefronts they passed were all worn down and the deeper Race led Albert into the area, the dirtier it got.  Race hadn’t spoken a word to him since their conversation on the train, leaving Albert more or less in the dark about the specifics of where they were going.  Eventually, they arrived at an abandoned auto-shop.  
Race walked around to the back of the lot and knocked on one of the garage doors.  It opened a moment later to reveal a tall, gruff looking guy.
“You Racetrack?” He asked, eyeing him suspiciously.
“Yes, sir, I am,” Race said, sauntering over to him, “But, a little piece of constructive criticism, don’t ever voice your assumptions.  If you had been wrong about who was just now, that could have meant serious trouble for the both of us.”
The guy looked unimpressed, “I expected you to be less twiggy.”
“And I expected you to have more than one brain cell, but alas.”
“Whatever,” The guy said, “You got the shit?”
“Yeah,” Race retrieved the paper bag containing the weed from his jacket, “And you’ll get it as soon as I see the cash.”
The guy reached into his back pocket and produced an envelope, “Here, you see it.  Now give me the goddamn pot already.”
“Nuh uh uh,” Race wagged his finger, “Calm down, you useless junkie.  I already made it very clear the other day that it’s cash first, weed second.  Hand it over.”
“Show me the pot first,” Race opened the bag and held it out for the guy to see.  He peered at the bag’s contents, inspecting it closely, “And that’s two grams?”
Race clicked his tongue, “It should be.”
The guy nodded and reached into the envelope, revealing a large wad of cash.  He held it out for Race to take, who in turn, handed the paper bag over to him.
Once the items were exchanged, Race spit into his palm and offered it to the guy.  Without hesitation, the guy spit into his own hand and shook Race’s.  Albert wrinkled his nose in disgust.
“Pleasure doing business,” Race said, formally.
The guy huffed a small laugh, “Okay.”
With that, he stalked back into the auto shop and closed the garage door.  Race turned to Albert, looking pleased.
“That went nice and smooth,” He said.
“Yeah, seemed easy,” Albert agreed.
“I’m hungry,” Race declared, “Let’s head back to The Bowery for lunch, then we can do our next trade.”
“What time’s our next trade?  And where?” Albert asked, following Race away from the autoshop.
“4:00 over in Washington Square Park.  We have a little while.”
The journey back to The Bowery seemed to take less time than the commute to The Bronx.  Race had loosened up significantly and was telling Albert about the other guys in Empire as they entered the theatre.
“So yeah, you met Finch and Crutchie- great guys by the way, absolute geniuses.  Aside from them, there’s Mush and Blink, who trade a lot over in Staten Island.  Blink’s got an eyepatch.  No one knows exactly what happened to his eye, but it definitely involved a knife.  Romeo is a little shit, but a total charmer, which comes in handy during trades.  Jojo’s the handyman- I’ve already told you about him.  Giant teddy bear, that guy.  Love him.  And then you met Jack and I’ve told you about Les and Davey- oh! I want you to meet Davey, he should be around today, one sec,” As they passed the recreation room, Race stuck his head in, “Hey, Mush.”
Albert peeked over Race’s shoulder to see a shorter guy with straight brown hair, playing solitaire.  He looked up upon hearing his name and smiled, “Hey Race,” He made eye contact with Albert and blinked, “You’re Albert, yeah? The dude Race pulled off the street?”
“Indeed, that’s me,” Albert said as Race pulled him into the room.
“Welcome, don’t fuck anything up,” Mush said, placing his cards onto the table and clasping his hands under his chin, “Did you guys need something?”
“Yeah,” Race leaned against the door, “D’you know where Davey is?”
“Uh, I’m not actually sure?  I saw him and Jack leave a little bit ago.  They said they have something they need to take care of over in SoHo.”
Race frowned, “That’s weird, I didn’t think that they had any trades today.”
Albert felt his blood run cold as he processed what Mush had told them, “Oh my god,” he muttered, “Oh my god.”
Race and Mush looked at him, confusion written on their faces, “What?  What’s wrong.”
Albert swallowed and met Race’s stare, panic running down his spine, “Elmer’s girlfriend lives in SoHo.”
“What are you-” Albert didn’t let Race finished as he fled the room, running towards the exit.
“Albert, slow down,” Race called, running after him, “Albert!”
Albert stopped just outside the theatre, turning around to look at Race with wide, terror-stricken eyes, “Race, please, I need to make sure Elmer’s okay.”
“But what does that have to do with his girlfriend-” Understanding dawned on Race’s face, “Wait shit, is he still at his girl’s place?”
“Yes and I think that’s where Jack and Davey are headed.  Come or don’t, I’m going,” Albert ran to the street and hailed a cab, Race climbing in next to him.
“Albert,” Race hissed, “You realize this is gonna make it worse, right?”
“Shut up,” Albert snapped, pulling out his phone and dialing Elmer’s number.  When he didn’t pick up, Albert called Sarah.
“Hello?” Sarah answered from the other side.  She sounded okay, which Albert took  as a good sign.
“Sarah, are you at your place?” Albert asked, urgently.
“No, I’m at the grocery store right now, why? Is everything okay?”
“Is Elmer with you?” Albert pushed.
“No,” Sarah said, slowly, “He was still asleep when I left, so he didn’t come.”
“Shit,” Albert cursed, “Shit shit shit.”
“Albert, what’s-” Sarah started, sounding worried.
“I gotta go, but don’t go home,” Albert demanded, not waiting for a reply as he hung up.  
They arrived in front of Elmer’s apartment complex fifteen minutes later.  Albert almost didn’t want to go inside, too afraid of what he might find.  He forced himself to get out of the cab nonetheless and sprinted in through the front, Race on his heels.  He bypassed the elevator, instead darting towards the door to the stairwell and scaling the three flights of stairs to Sarah’s floor.  When he got to the apartment, he found that it was locked.  
He cursed under his breath, then turned to Race, who was standing nervously a few feet away, “Do you have, like, anything you can use to pick locks?” He asked, impatiently.
Race looked like he was having some sort of internal battle as he reached into his boot and pulled out a knife, handing it to Albert, who stuck his tongue between his teeth as he fiddled with the doorknob.  It took a few minutes, but eventually he got heard the click indicating that he had succeeded.
“I don’t think you should go in there,” Race warned, but Albert ignored him.
The next thirty seconds felt like they went by in slow motion.  Albert opened the door to find Jack and a man in a button down shirt and sweater vest standing on the other side.  The man in the sweater vest was pointing a gun at Elmer, who was cowering against the wall.  Jack looked up as Albert entered the room and opened his mouth to shout something, but was cut off by the sound of a gunshot.  Albert looked over to see Elmer slump onto the floor, blood flowing steadily from his head.  He screamed and staggered backwards into Race, who caught him and lowered him to the floor.  The sound around Albert seemed to muffle.  The world was blurry and he was certain that people were talking around him, but he couldn’t make out what they were saying.
“Albert, Jesus Christ,” He felt someone slap him across the face and he flinched, “Stop screaming or Davey’ll shoot you too,” Race’s voice bled into his consciousness and he was suddenly pulled back to reality.
He closed his mouth, stopping the screams that were escaping him.  Without thinking, he looked at Elmer’s body again and his stomach lurched.  He bent over to the side and threw up, unable to handle the sight any longer.  He heard the door close behind him, then the man in the sweater vest crouched down in front of him.
His eyes were alarmingly calm as he offered a hand to Albert, “You must be Albert.  I’m Davey, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Band Camp Day 2
it's 1:38am on the 17th, I just got back from the bar, and it's time to type
August 16th (I'm turning 21 today!)
<< 2 >>
Stayed up until 2 am last night:
The good thing about Monday is that we don't start at 8:30am yet. The dorm people move in today, so us off-campus people get to vibe.
Or in my case, get my birthday starbucks
among other birthday beverages
aka there's another coffee shop that also does free birthday drinks
librarians had to be in at 10am doing music, so that's when my day personally started (band camp wise, anyway)
I should mention that this is the official first day of band camp
music went fine. We checked every folder individually for mistakes and stuff. There was a little upset with who didn't go on my birthday coffee run and who did, which I understand, but it's such a small thing in the grand scheme of things
I do feel bad, though
check in started at 12:30 and went until 1:30, so we managed to get there around 1:15. However, the drumline instructor decided that that was the time to tell us he needed the entire score, which is the Worst time to tell us
and it's my band director's fault, to put it simply. Not even his
but we had to check in, so that became an issue for later
we checked in, which was simple and easy, and I got to see the piccs I haven't seen in forever, they managed to find our one freshman, which was super cool bc that was my first official time meeting her
I also got to see all of my other-section friends, which was awesome
then the Meeting began
before the meeting, all of band council and staff had to wait outside the room so we could run in like we're special or somethin
we are. Our shirts didn't come in on time, but we have bright yellow bandanas to wear all week so that people know who to ask for help
the whole "wearing it all week" thing was revealed to us WHILE our band director was saying it to the entire band
oh, and to set the scene, we're all standing behind him, facing the band
it's just all the normal introductory stuff. That was the most I've ever faked being happy bc I have to
he introduced us. Mispronounced my name. I thought it was really funny and so did the entire band, so at least we're all in on it
he explained how we get free meals until Wednesday, but then he talked about how the meal cards charge by meal? So then he was like "don't go to the dining hall for a minor meal, just eat in your dorm" which like
cool, now there's gonna be a starving freshman who was guilt tripped into eating a poptart in their dorm
like wtf. Charge the school as much as you want, kids, you're paying to be here.
halfway through, the drumline section leader left, and that's when ML2 realized we needed copies of that score now so it was really awkward watching her dart across the stage and do all that and get keys and stuff
she goes on a bit of a power trip so she prolly had a blast being center of attention in an indirect way
Once the meeting was over, we started auditions. I don't have to do that bc I'm a drill instructor, so theoretically I should have been doing librarian stuff, right?
right?
no, wrong, ML2 was doing it, even though she needed to audition. And now, we learned that the entire drumline doesn't have music at all, so we need to get them music
like that would have been nice to know
she did eventually audition, and speaking of auditions, my section leader from freshman year was the person helping our new section leader out, and it was so fun seeing her again
that's my mom
she goes "you're all so grown up" and then half an hour later "you guys are exactly the same"
ofc that was after we discussed doing some chicken slapping 7-mile spanking style for section bonding on thursday
so, this is sorta when ML2 comes back, done with doing librarian stuff, and just,,, leads us back to the building where we're doing full band rehearsal
this sounds fine, but she did it in a "duh, follow me" kinda way where she didn't slow down and was Fully Leading the section as if we didn't have a section leader who was supposed to be doing that
and no one was ready to move. None of us had all our things together
and we had a lot of time before we had to get there, so why the rush
she wanted to be in charge, that's why
now we're in the building where we're gonna have full band rehearsal, and we have time to kill, so we make our group chats, get to know our one first year, and just have normal convo
now fast forward to that rehearsal, where we're really gonna test how well we did our librarian jobs. All 130 folders we prepared, 20 songs each, handed out.
honestly? not too bad. We needed to make an extra cymbals folder and an extra tenor folder, and that was it.
well, we also had to recopy a clarinet 1 part, which was weird, bc I said that, and then ML2 talked to that clarinet, and she came back and said "she needs clarinet 1"
yeah
i said that
it was a little more complicated than that but that's the gist
oh! and this is also when we learned chair placements. I didn't audition (co-DI rights), and I asked for 2nd, which my section leader said "yeah who else would get it"
so i went from 5th my freshman year, 3rd two years in a row, to second!
[it's 2am, i'm continuing this tomorrow when I get home from day 3]
[hi hello it's 11:38 pm on day 3, let's continue, shall we? I have a lot to type tonight]
so anyway, ML2 and I do librarian things and miss most of that band rehearsal. I got back just in time to play Al, which is practically our second fight song
after that we had dinner, where our band director?? decided to sit with us??? for some godforsaken reason???
we don't like him, he doesn't care for piccs, it was really weird
we didn't?? tone down our personality for him, either, which is,,,, bad
we are a v inappropriate section, and we all love it, but maybe not in front of him
he also goes?? "hey where do I get pasta? should I ask for it [DI]-style? with extra meat"
SIR WHAT THE FUCK
we've been,,, losing our minds about that one
After dinner, we were back down at the field to learn more fundamentals
honestly I don't think anything terribly crazy happened? I've now had to stand in front of the band to demonstrate things?? with the other DI's, which is sorta wild
the band sang happy birthday to me!! which technically I asked for bc I wanted the attention but!!! it was really nice!!!!! and then the seniors got together to plan our first prank
and we did the singing and stuff where we had two years of people not quite know what was going on (thanks, covid)
ML2 is,,, very judgy about me being DI and it's been getting worse as we go on, but more on that tomorrow. We had some Facial Expressions today
we didn't do the after-band activity bc we were tired and planning on going to the bar for ML2's 21st bday
my dm do be texting me about how salty ML2 is tho. It's making me very anxious
sorry this is a day late! I got 4 hours of sleep last night

So I just had one of the worst days of my life in years (and it's not over):
Let me be straight with you: I'm a poor dude in his 30s who drinks way too much, and can get mean. Not CRUEL, but brutally honest. I am like that naturally, but when drunk, and provoked, I can make people cry. People have had some fantastic nights with me; people have had some disasters with me. It depends on the people almost entirely. I have better nights with strangers than friends & family countless times.
I say all this cuz I do not want to look like I am mr perfect, nice guy, pity me. I have issues, but I <almost> never let them be taken out on anyone. Even when I am brutally honest, when I say what I say, and someone calls me out sober I go 'yeah, I still fucking believe that, I just wouldn't have said it so harshly.' They act like I will change what I said; nope. Have done so less than a dozen times in my life. CUZ I MEAN WHAT I SAY, SOBER OR DRUNK. And people do not like that. Never have. I have found people LOVE blaming the alcohol. 'You didn't mean that, you were drunk.' No, I did. And they will BLOW ME OFF SOBER! One of the reasons I say what I say drunk many times. But I am consistent; I can say that. The running joke is 'don't ask my opinion, or you'll get it.'
Anyways, that in mind (which may explain the following) here we go:
My mom was sad me and my sister did not show up for mother's day. I had work earlier in the day, I was gonna see her 2 days later (make her a nice meal), sis was across state, and mom said it was fine. It was NOT fine. She was wrong/exaggerated (she does that). She, with her I believe failing memory, mentioned it like 3-4 times (almost every time we talked) about how much it hurt her. So I texted my sis 'next year, we should go big for mother's day. She was sad we weren't there. '
Somehow, my sister got 'you suck as a daughter and hurt mom on mother's day' cuz she went from talking about mom, to me moving, to me getting a better job, to me being unproductive, to me being basically a loser (she does this with almost every conversation-she judges and tries to change me, and this is WELL before alcohol. She was ashamed to be my sister most of my life to be honest. I was loud, direct, and took no bs.), to finally my sister saying the meanest thing she said since we were kids. I called her a fucking idiot. I call anyone who ignores key data or what I said a fucking idiot. Cuz they're fucking idiots. But I never get specifically mean...(unless drunk or/and pissed off). She basically said along the lines of 'you're such a loser, that is why mom and dad made me executive of their estate when they die.'
If there's ever ONE THING you want to do to infuriate me and hurt me more than anything-it's lie. Even a small one. I would rather almost want to kill myself from the truth than deal with an iota of a lie. Cuz the lie will make me want to die. Trust is everything to me.
So this went
a-my sister saying the meanest true thing she could think of that I had NO IDEA about.
b-finding out my parents changed this behind my back.
c-seeing my parents trust my sister more than me (tho she is fucking SPOILED-I know her. She will be 'fair'-split everything equally, but her first dibs on anything good. And will make hard decisions without EVER asking us. She's like my dad-hard working, but capitalistic/control freak/statist as FUCK)
d-this is an assumption, but a safe one-I wasn't going to find out about this till MY PARENTS WERE FUCKING DEAD.
So this is like a lie x3.
I'm devastated. I don't care about my parents money and shit; I tell them all the time- SPEND IT ALL! You earned it. It's yours!
Seriously-if that meant they died, I had car issues, and I'm fucked-so be it. That's life.
Just the fact that my sister, when she's already riding my ass, goes SO deep to hurt me in a way I couldn't have even expected was one helluva low blow. <I was sober during all this, so alcohol wasn't to blame. I was real level headed>
Worst part? I kinda would have easily got over they did not want me to be their estate person. Serious. a-HOLY FUCK work. b-stress. c-I ain't the best with money. d-whoever is in charge has to deal with my brother, who is difficult at many times. And would be a nightmare with my parents dead.
But the fact they did it behind my back, showed NO signs of ever telling me, and my sister has to use it as the meanest thing she could say to me to 'make a point?'
Hurt me in a way I did not know I still could be hurt, ya know?
Ugh. Funny part is after thinking about it, I confronted her on 'did you just get pissy cuz you thought I was attacking you over mothers day? cuz that wasn't the case.' And she became all nice again. So she was on the defense over NOTHING.
Go to work. Find out our new 'bonuses' from work are stacked shit. First off, the government on bonuses can take up to 40% in taxes. WHAT!? Secondly, it's a group effect, and if one person doesn't make it, even $1 short, NO ONE makes it. They do this with our managers-all have different areas, but if the one who is in charge of the rewards program doesn't get enough sign ups (even if the customers are part of the program) No bonuses to ALL managers. Crock of greedy shit, big lots.
Get thru work. Come home. Ambulances. Police. Live in low income housing, so used to that, but not usually this number.
Turns out a kid, 32, younger than me, SAME NAME basically killed himself. I don't know all the details, but it was a known fact he was, like MANY people here, drinking himself to death. <one guy covered the walls in so much shit, hazmat was called after he died drinking>
Just find it odd timing on my bad day, when I'm about to drink, guy with my name, my building, younger, dies, more than likely from drinking...
He was a nice guy. I mean, I heard he said mean things drunk sometimes too, but every convo with that kid I had was smiling, laughing, trying to converse....I saw so much potential in him...
I just...WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN, ya know?
I asked the girl at the liquor store 'you believe in nihilism?' She said she didn't know what that was. I said kinda like it could all mean something or nothing entirely. She looked uncomfortable and goes 'NO!' And I was thinking 'I was asking if you ever thought about life this way, not if you define your life that way.' So it seems I'm just good at being misread, and pissing people off...sober ;)
thanks for reading. hope you got a 'fuck, that's crazy' from this. I don't need likes, shares..just...putting this out there in case somebody can relate, and not feel so alone like I do right now.
<also fighting with my 'best'/only friend, who also small lies ALL THE TIMES, and ditched constantly. And when I call him out, he gaslights me, and says I have all these issues. COOL. Why did you NEVER bring them up till I brought up my issues with you, asshole?>
Genuinely, this WHOLE past year has taught me I go stir crazy being alone, but FUCK do I hate being around most people for long periods of time. If you are not living life by you, don't be by me. There's more fakes and copy and paste people in this world than originals...either say something I never heard heard/thought, or you are a waste of time.

keeping up the streak
There has to be a moment or two after all this has eased slightly where something gets asked of toni regarding his time in the war. Probably less a “tell us a story” and more “give us some details on” way, like needing the information for a mission or something, otherwise i figure any war stories are kind of off limits for a /long/ fucking while. But anyway, him starting to answer and he starts off starting to lie again on instinct because he’d trained it to be so natural before so that he wouldn’t hesitate and be caught or something, so either him now having to catch himself and correct or someone else catching him and him immediately like oh yeah fuck you’re right, sorry. Damnit. Bad habits, I guess. 
I don’t think either kyle or austin would end up talking to toni one-on-one about it. Already said toni would try to talk to mel and i think unless gil was like austin-levels of cool with it, he would probably try to talk to him, too. The others would have to make it clear they wanted to talk to him, though. He figures those two are the closest to him and would probably be the most upset specifically about what he did because as his best friends aboard the ship they would likely expect more honesty. Toni gets along with the others, but he’s not close to like Cian or Ivan as he is with gil and especially not as he was with mel, so he figures if they’re mad, it’s not going to be /betrayal/ level mad, just. Hey you fucking lied to us and hurt the captain, what the fuck?? Kyle doesn’t really care what Toni has to say. Again, he’s not mad at Toni for himself, he’s mad at Toni for Mel. Austin doesn’t care because again, doesn’t care about any of this. Doesn’t like that things have been kind of disrupted, but he’s just trying to stay out of it. He’s really hoping Toni /doesn’t/ make a one-on-one talk trip to every crew member because he’d stop toni at the door with a “I really don’t care.” and just close the door at that. 
Toni would be relieved that neither ivan nor cian were completely mad at him. Understands there’s still some hostilities and again, figured there’d be at least some level of “you betrayed mel and since she’s our captain and also our friend, fuck you”, but probably had a short fear of like almost everyone just straight up avoiding him over that or some shit. 
I love Toni starting this convo to try and be like “here’s the expectations I saw while in the job so now that you have it you should be made aware” but being caught quickly in a discussion about the whole thing. He’s less prepared for that, which probably means you get him a bit more honest? Not that he’s lying when he talks to other people but like, he hasn’t prepared himself or planned what the best points to bring up to this person are to make himself better understood. It’s just his thoughts as they come up instead of being planned and sorted, so it’s a bit more. God there’s not really a good word? I wanna say like legit or real or whatever but again, that makes the other things sound fake and they’re not WAIT natural. It’s more natural. There we go. 
I think ivan would find out about toni planning to leave in like a full crew meeting? Toni brings it up to mel first, and when she seems to agree it’s the best option, them planning to tell the crew all together. So like good for ivan. Hears the bad panic news in this room full of people and has to wait til he gets back to his room to properly freak out.
Alternatively. Like i was going to say it later but i think drinking with cian would probably be when he first comes up with the idea. Then when sober thinks it over like actually that might be the only good (“good”) option left. Probably keeps it in his brain for a day before bringing it up to mel and then probably the crew that evening or the next day? But would cian think toni was actually considering that if he heard him suggest it very seriously but while drunk? if so, would he let anyone else know like ivan as a “i don’t know how legit this is but” thing? That’s perhaps another option for ivan finding out ahead of time. 
But yeah, speaking of Cian! Toni of course lets Cian in. anyone wants answers on this, they deserve them, he’s not going to dismiss somebody who wants to talk to him and figure out hey why the fuck? Makes the standard simple case about it, that he liked mel and didn’t want to lose her as a friend and so he kept lying when she asked him that first time and kept lying further when anyone asked him after that because that was the established narrative and he would have to have admitted he lied to mel to not lie to the rest of them, too. He’s sorry and it seems foolish now but it’s what happened. 
I think there’s one silver lining to this and it’s that if he’s been drinking in the evenings since all this shit went down, it’s largely been drinking to get drunk. Good to be drinking to drink again. 
Though like. Like i said ivan gets the most natural toni responses because toni is already in the conversation when the question is presented, he doesn’t have any time at all to prepare what he wants to say, it’s all just as the words come out. But cian actually gets a more honest toni. Again, not that toni’s lying a lot but still, he’s picking his words carefully here, he usually is, far more than he lets on and especially now. He’s trying to resolve this, trying to make things better. Even if he doesn’t have a second or two to prepare what he wants to say, he can still do that very easily on the fly. But when he’s tipsy or drunk, that ability is definitely less strong. That very good word filter definitely slacks off, and it’s not like. Like he’s not suddenly talking shit and saying like “i don’t get why mel’s even mad fuck her” or something like that. Like again, he’s not actively lying through most of this, he does 100% genuinely get and accept and understand everyone’s anger on this, he’s angry at /himself/ for this. but with the word filter gone, he would say things off the top of his head that he wouldn’t. Like the suggestion of him leaving. That’s why i think he’d come up with it with cian first. He’d roll it around in his head for a while before saying anything or even just dismiss it totally if he first came up with the idea while sober. It’s why, once sober, he still waits to bring the idea up to mel. But he’s drunk and the idea comes up and he just suggests it. 
Him starting being more honest about how helpless he feels with this! That normally he’d be the person helping himself here. Usually he’s the one with good advice for someone who made a mistake and made someone mad at them! But he thought this was so small at the time and it became so big and he feels like he has to clean up a room of broken mirrors with a paintbrush instead of a broom. He wants there to be a quick and easy fix to this because he hates seeing mel hurting, hates knowing he hurt her, hates knowing that hurting her is affecting the rest of hte crew on top of that, so even if he knows trust can’t be resolved that easily like, that it can take months and years and more to repair it.... Fucking goddamn does he still want it to be quick and easy, though. It feels like the whole ship is suffering because of him and he doesn’t want to put them all through this drama for how long it would normally take to repair a person’s trust in another. He needs to do something, he knows he does. he /wants/ to do something, anything, to fix this and asap, but what? At this point he feels like just being on the ship at all is making things worse. And him leading off of that thought into wait wait wait i can-! What if i just go? If i ain’t around she don’t gotta worry about me, you all don’t gotta worry about us. That would…. And he kinda trails off as it slowly sinks in of like realizing he’d be leaving his home, which is. Not a happy thought. But he said he’d do anything to fix this so. trying to pick up again then, insisting that might be the best option. Doing that little drunk nod thing of just nodding way longer than is necessary to accept something as true. 
God but him thanking cian and cian like wait hold on that wasn’t my idea? Why are you leaving now?? you realize that’s also not going to fix things right?? Besides you’re important to the crew! But tipsy toni is convinced no no it’ll work, it has to! What else is he gonna be able to do to make things better for the crew and stop being trouble for mel?? And he’s not that important anymore, really. Ivan took over one of his jobs and they could find someone else to fill in cooking when needed. He’s seen Kyle cook once or twice and for not knowing what half of the spices are actually called he’s actually kinda good, not as good as toni of course but he could manage in the following absence easily. why not give him that job? toni’ll just bring it up to her and if she agrees that would help then it’ll work and that’s what’s important! 
For kyle and austin hearing toni leaving. 
Austin again, like. Doesn’t care. Maybe a little happy. Not too much, they probably found some things to actually get along with each other on as time passed, but toni did also still definitely make him believe kyle was dead once, so also like. Kinda good? fucking bye?
A, Kyle doesn’t buy into that “i want to go meet up with my brother” for a fucking second, toni we all know you’re running from your problems, nice try. B, Kyle suddenly like flips? Not like flip flips where he’s suddenly not mad at toni, but he too isn’t okay with people abandoning him for some weird reason or another (he didn’t become cold to loss like austin did whoops), especially one of the fucking parental figures on the team, so like. He’s still mad at toni but he suddenly wants that one-on-one talk right now immediately because you can’t just fucking leave??? We’re a fucking crew and you don’t get to just walk out on that because it got rough cause of your own fuck up????? Like, we need you? Toni immediately cracking an amused grin, reiterating some of the same points of “ivan took over one of my jobs and like half of you couldn’t manage to fix your own meals, you don’t /really/ need me anymore, you’re just comfortable having me around. Which I get! I was comfortable here with you all, too, but… listen to me, Kyle, you may not understand it, but it’s for the best.” Insisting he’s basically poisoning the energy of the ship- he’s thought this over and it’s the best option for everyone. Kyle /immediately/ calling bullshit on that, that it’s the best fix short term /maybe/ but probably not even that and definitely not long term. Like this is the one time kyle’s giving toni good advice on how to resolve a fuck up toni did that made people angry at him, oh how the turn tables. Toni dismissing it though, saying kyle doesn’t understand, which is a mistake because this is like the one time kyle does actually maybe have the right idea here. Kyle very mad when toni won’t take his advice though. Keeps raising his voice as if being louder will make toni listen more before just cursing and kicking the door frame before leaving. Fine, toni wants to fuck everything up even more, whatever, let him, [insert string of curses in chinese here]!
God i realized this is like one of the few AUs where kyle knows another language and that’s weird? There's like DnD AU and he learns russian in hetalr but like. I think that’s it? My boy can barely speak english, don’t make him figure out two languages.
Hey this is /completely/ unrelated but remind me to find a way to fit kylee and/or audrey in as planet contacts?

Hang on 💪🏆 Janis: [turns up and finds him, throwing whatever cigarettes and lighters she's found at him 'cookies, please'] Jimmy: [when he was gonna find her and vandalise the teacher's locks so they lowkey nearly bump into each other but he chucks the cookies at her before there's a #moment] Janis: [just nom-ing like there isn't a vibe, as per 'was saving their room 'til last, bet there's loads of rich girl shit'] Jimmy: [brushing a cookie crumb off her face with his thumb and then putting said thumb in his mouth to get said crumb 'gotta show me Ben's first'] Janis: [just stopping dead in

relationship lol] Janis: [soz not soz, whoever you are] Jimmy: [go and do #bragate and look through his shit lads] Janis: [the state these rooms gonna lowkey be in, so much worse than before] Jimmy: [I vote he should have some booze of some description so they have it when they go to Mia's room cos gonna be in there a while] Janis: [I concur] Jimmy: [when you shrug at her once you're done like anywhere we've missed cos should save hers til last] Janis: [points out the rooms she did so they can work out if they've missed any between 'em] Jimmy: [likewise tells her the ones he did and maybe they have missed one and there's nothing good but they can have an actual race to Mia's that she obviously wins] Janis: [😏 as we snooping with reckless abandon] Jimmy: [chucks some 🍬s at her with gold wrappers in place of a 🥇] Janis: ['you're buzzing to lose, remember' looks at the beds pointedly, then carries on going through their bags] Jimmy: [lights a 🚬 because fuck you ladies] Janis: ['what about me?' so #offended] Jimmy: [gives her a look like I didn't think you'd want one cos you're such an athlete but comes over and lights one for her, putting it in her mouth and everything cos always gotta be flirty about it] Janis: ['one ain't gonna get me as fucked as you, cute though, concern and that'] Jimmy: [makes a moment™ out of putting some of the ones they found into her pocket as well as his lighter that she was playing with before, not just a random spare and goes to lie down on the bottom bunk for a bit] Janis: [just leaves him be for a while, keeping busy over here, all casual, all fine, eventually, 'if you're going sleep, do your best to look cute so I can take some creepshots 'fore I piss off'] Jimmy: [just having his lil sulk cos he lost 'weren't the plan, that' and pats the bed beside him in his best attempt at creepy but then starts putting out all the shit he found to look through it] Janis: [best 😬 but goes over and adds her haul] Jimmy: [cracks open the booze whatever it is and takes a massive swig before passing it to her] Janis: [doing the same, throwing those two tablets out on the bed, like, offer is there 'she must be fucked up' shrugs 'decent shit'] Jimmy: [sharing everything else out like actual couple goals but leaving them cos he ain't that bitch] Janis: [when you ain't either so that's a #relief tbh] Jimmy: [lifts the pillow and puts them under cos that gal is gonna notice her meds are gone so might as well try and frame these bitches] Janis: [so into that it's not even funny lol] Jimmy: [then nudges her like which bed do you think is Mia's cos that's the one you wanna fake fuck on if you're doing only one] Janis: ['how's either of them getting up there, honestly' put gets up and peers for clues 'think this is Ella's, the PJs are negative sized, Mia wishes'] Jimmy: ['she wishes she were a top an' all'] Janis: ['so you are gay then' 😏] Jimmy: [😏 and chucks loads of 🍬🍫 up onto Ella's bed so either she'll be triggered or Mia will think they're hers and be mad or both] Janis: [gonna say you got some laxatives I'm flushing gals, along with pouring whatever expensive perfume/foundation etc down the loo, at least half of so you can't prove it 'cos it's not empty] Jimmy: [love that] Janis: [you both know you're delaying what you said you'd do though] Jimmy: [I'm literally sitting here thinking if there's a way we could let them actually hook up rn for the sheer #mood of it all without ruining everything lol] Janis: [like you could, and then pretend it didn't happen, maybe?] Jimmy: [that's what I'm thinking like if you both act like you're carried away by getting one over on Mia and drunker than you are, I just think it'd add to the weird dynamic and headfuck of it all if they did] Janis: [it's in character for her so if it is for him, we can] Jimmy: [like we know he wants to and would so as long as they both commit to acting like it didn't happen I think we can get away with it] Janis: [we doing it, gonna have to start talking if you're gonna get there though, lads] Jimmy: [lbr it'd we weirder if they didn't hook up at this point cos they always go too hard for the 'camera' and they don't have sod all clothes on yet again so they're gonna feel EVERYTHING when they're making out and dry humping all over each other, it'd literally only take something like that thing he does where he tries to say words and it comes out as a full moan to tip them over this precarious edge] Janis: [exactly, it only doesn't happen in this scenario if one of you is the type to say no for reasons or you don't actually fancy each other but you clearly do so] Jimmy: [we setting up both phones for all the angles as if you're not gonna forget about that immediately] Janis: ['least bottom bunk makes for #moodlighting, I guess'] Jimmy: ['more of a challenge to for us to break it though' because I remember in the OG convo they lowkey dismantled her bed and they should do that here because funnier] Janis: ['as long as you keep the top from squashing me with your giant head' we deffo should, a mood] Jimmy: [squishes her face like aw baby I will protect you, you small egg] Janis: [goes to smack his but as per, not actually lmao] Jimmy: [little playfight/pillow fight to get this tension going] Janis: [points if you can beat the stuffing out of these pillows] Jimmy: [you gotta lads and also leave your empty booze bottle hidden about in the hopes they get blamed for that too] Janis: [when neither of you are cool enough to party this hard, welcome for the rep boost hoes] Jimmy: [1000% living for the prospect of Mia getting in trouble with her dad though bye] Janis: [hahahahaaaaaha #disappointeddaddy] Jimmy: [that's a pisstaking # they need to use fr] Janis: [speaking of the socials, making sure there's Mia things in the background so you can start taking these shots like they bitch] Jimmy: [not actually stalling that time, it's genuinely important] Janis: [tis why we're here, currently, anyway] Jimmy: [crack on doing the most, you know you gotta go even harder than you did during the last photoshoot purely to annoy these hoes yep] Janis: [the level anything beyond making out/lovebites is unpostable, like do you need all these angles and different poses? nope but here we are] Jimmy: [like even if you just DMed them to her to ruin her ability to sleep in that bed you still don't need to go this hard lads] Janis: [could let her do the legwork lmao, we see you] Jimmy: [I love you two and your flimsy excuses so much] Janis: [hence this is so stretch] Janis: *NO Jimmy: [imagine if he'd fake dated some gal who literally only wanted to do the bare minimum] Janis: [an actual prude or the one girl that didn't fancy him] Jimmy: [he thought Janis didn't for a bit there LOL] Janis: [she got eyes honey] Jimmy: [LORD the eye contact rn don't even] Janis: [looking away when you literally cannot and ruining a shot or something neither of you actually care about but] Jimmy: [and kissing when you also cannot so your eyes get to be closed because you're not psychos] Janis: [literally running out of skin for lovebites] Jimmy: [hence you gotta hardcore make out and once you start you can't stop] Janis: [away we go] Jimmy: [this is simultaneously the best and worst idea lads, love it] Janis: [knocking those phones down 'cos do not need that in your life, even if we pretending this is that spontaneous] Jimmy: [accidentally recording their first time that they are gonna pretend didn't happen is not the one] Janis: [because Rio is your sister, purely, which is why she said no to being in the ad 'cos she thought he was being a dick and everyone else would] Jimmy: [I didn't even think about that in relation to the ad, oh boo you so smart] Janis: [hohaha] Jimmy: [if you two have been shook by how into each other you are, just you wait until after this 🔥 first time] Janis: [have fun downplaying this lmao] Jimmy: [god it's gonna be so awkward, at least we can have a teacher show up to take them to the next activity whenever we need] Janis: [when you can't separate 'cos the image but you can tell you being more distant and actually fake] Jimmy: [the next activity was trust falls and a blindfolded assault course which I think we should still do but we should do it different by saying they aren't allowed to work together for it cos bad eggs which they would hate despite the awks cos they both have trust issues and would be shamelessly jealous of the boy and girl the other is doing it with] Jimmy: [plus it makes more sense for the next bit cos in the OG they just went back on it later when nobody else was about and like he challenged her to do it better cos she was the blindfolded one I think and that's how she twisted her ankle which led to the fake injury but if they weren't allowed to do it together then it's more logical that all that would happen] Janis: [well done boo, fully approve] Jimmy: [yeah she was all like I could do it by myself I don't need you which can still be a thing but there's even more of a vibe this way] Janis: [a mood, lord knows who you're having to do this with first time around] Jimmy: [I think she should have to do it with Ben whoever he is for the lols] Janis: [oh ben, as long as your gf doesn't think it's her bra 'cos lmao] Jimmy: [we should give him Asia since they didn't do that project together this time] Janis: [she will probably drop you god speed] Jimmy: [we should say she does so Janis has to be all #concerned which is awks after what just happened] Janis: [after #caring for him] Janis: memorize that course before you do it Janis: no chance she knows left from right Jimmy: I ain't that thick, tah, I'll make her be the one to do it Janis: revenge, right Jimmy: you're alright, in well

Supergirl 3x09
- I’m sorry, I’m just not a fan of the whole “Smallville’s Doomsday/Davis” storyline as a concept. 
- Mon-El sure spends a lot of time this season with his arms crossed. 
- Lena already looks plenty of starry eyed at James. 
- Thank you, J’onn’s father for existing and bringing this seasons’ set of “fish out of water” jokes. (I know Imra tries, but so far she’s not particularly successful with it in regards to being funny)
- Crone buddies!
- Sam+Alex should be a thing.
- Yay for continuity and referencing old episodes (Ruby+Alex convo)
- Yeah I’m still not buying Kara and Sam being best friends level. Like how exactly did Sam help get Kara through the year? Which parallel universe did that happen in? And you know, I’m theoretically open to Guardiancorp, but those weeks of chemistry is another thing that must have happened in a parallel universe. (btw, not a fan of James saying that he’s here to make sure Edge behaves)
- I like that Kara recalls having come across the symbol before. 
- Really? Ribs? And that’s not supposed to be weird somehow? 
- So, why is there supposed to be that much Kryptonian stuff “all over the world” for cultguy to find? What was the plan of the Reign-cult?
- Teeth => Vampire monster thingie from Sam’s vision in the premiere.
- So did he meet the disgraced priestess on Fort Rozz, how did he get there?
- Oh Ruby, your life is gonna suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. 
- I’m sorry, but Imra’s accent is like really rough on my ears. 
- I know this is tv, but why are two top execs like Lena and James doing the footwork? 
- Wait, Lena is genuinely supposed to have missed that? 
- Cool POV shots/cinematography on Reign’s first murder spree. 
- Hah, I did call that Sam/Reign is gonna do her own version of protecting Lena from Morgan Edge. 
- Oh, so the line from the Inside was quoting Kara. 
- For Fuck’s sake, can Kara and Mon-El just have a conversation on Rao-ist theology already? 
- Thank you Edge for giving me a laugh this episode with his fake concern. 
- Haha, smartypants Edge has a lead room. 
- Seriously, why is everybody drinking all the time this season? I swear it wasn’t as much in the previous seasons. You know I hate to do the whole “rolemodel for little girls” thing, but can you please tune it down a bit, show?
- James was totally doing an intentional “sexy voice” move. 
- Those training moves with the training dummies looked looked ... not fancy the way they were shot. 
- Isn’t it nice of that helicopter to provide appropriate lightning?  
- Not feeling the Reign mask, it makes the monologues look silly. Liked the name reveal though. Must compile my post on Kryptonian religion in the comics. 
- Just say no to CGI. 
- Poor people in the exploding car. They died on Christmas.
- Very cool shots of Kara climbing on top of the rubble pile. 
- So James and Lena were just walking around randomly together? 
-  Ruby, your life is gonna suuuuuuuck. 
No attempts were made to return a certain necklace in this episode. James really should tell Lena that he’s Guardian if he’s gonna mack on her. So did anybody tell Lena that Mon-El is alive, read that she’s not responsible?

2x03 Thoughts
I’ve finally started my rewatch on s02 (lies, I havent watched most of this season before so this is a first viewing) and I think I’m gonna do a post on each episode after seeing it rather than wait to finish the whole season like I did with s01. This is probably how I’ll operate with s03 as well.
Right, so overall I liked this episode quite a bit. It had many moments I totally adored (spoiler: whenever Magnus was on screen and telling dumbass shadowhunters where to shove it) and it introduced my favourite werewolf lady along with the beginning of one of the relationships I find most interesting on the show. So yeah, a pretty good episode all things considered.
Another thing that it managed to do, which I totally didnt expect, was to make me feel bad for Jace. Like I genuinely felt his desperation and pain in this ep and by the end of it I was rooting for people to just cut him a break already. Something that the whole of s01 didnt make me feel. Good job, episode, good job.
I liked the subplot with Raphael and Simon, mostly because it showed once again how much of a good guy Raphael is and how nobody fucking appreciated it (like father, like son). I mean yeah, he did sort of passive-aggressively used Simon’s mom to threaten him into finding Camille but he also brought her to a nice restaurant and made up a totally fake story about where Simon is so she wouldnt worry and drink herself into an early grave. Not to mention he’s been nothing but helpful since the beginning and making sure these idiots (read Simon) dont get themselves killed and in return got blamed for other people’s messes and blackmailed into doing Clary’s bidding (which may I add, resulted in Camille escaping and landing them in this mess in the first place) so yeah. Stop being dicks to Rapahel 2k18.
Jocelyn gettng told off at every turn was also very nice to see. First by Magnus and then by Jace (who had moooore than enough reason to tell mommy dearest where to shove it). And in general I wish the show would allow more shadowhunters to be called out like that because that was so fucking real and well-deserved?? It left me 😍 for a good 10mins afterwards.
Speaking of the love of my li- I mean Magnus, as usual he was the best part of the episode (you might as well get used to it, he will always be the best part of any episode fro me). Like I said, I loved seeing him going off on those idiots who pissed him off and seeing his devotion and concern for Alec was just heartbreaking (especially when nothing he tried worked in any way). Seeing him lose his cool and lash out was also interesting and my god, the way he dealt with Raj - gggaaah, that was so hot, I cant handle it.
And since we are on the subject, what IS that guy’s deal? I mean he seemed weirdly unconcerned that a fellow shadowhunter was about to die, even a bit gleeful? Does he have some kind of grudge against Alec? Now that I think about it, he was the guy who Izzy attacked to save Meliorn in s01, right? Maybe because of that? Anyway, I’m adding that to his incredible stupidity in deciding it’s a good idea to piss off the High Warlock of Brooklyn.
The last bit that I found interesting was the flashback with Izzy and Alec’s convo about being parabatai with Jace. I found that rather frustrating to be honest because of the implications it seems to give off. Like Alec tells her he cant go through with the ritual and Izzy realises that he’s in love with Jace... and then proceeds to list Alec’s good qualities and telling him he’ll find someone to love him completely someday. Which is nice and all, I guess, but doesnt really follow logically from the previous bit? Like what does Alec getting a new love interest at some point in the distant future have to do with his feelings for Jace now? That doesnt help him with his problem right now! I guess the point she was trying to make was that there are plenty of other guys he can fall in love with later on but he might never find another parabatai again which ok, fair enough. But the implication it gives off that I mentioned really annoyed me is that it treats Alec’s already existing feelings for Jace as less important than some hypotetical feelings he might develop for another person in the future. Which is bullshit. I guess this is the start of the show trying to retcon that Alec was never ~reeeaaally~ in love with Jace and to downplay those feelings as compared to whatever he has with Magnus (kind of hard to do when you keep writing Alec the way you are).
And onto the most annoying (and telling) part of the M@lec subplot so far - the kiss. *sigh* I dont even want to explain my issues with it. Do I need to? Like there cant be someone out there who sees this as a positive moment for the ship, right? I mean if true love’s kiss doesnt bloody work for your couple, then... what else is there to say? Yes, I know it wasnt as simple as that, parabatai blah blah but like come on. Do we really believe that if the writers really wanted to portray M@lec as this epic love story like fandom thinks, they wouldnt have found a way for the kiss to work? Or just did it anyway even if it made no sense at all logically? The fact that Magnus’selfless act of love didnt work but Jace’s did... that just says all there is to say, I think. And dont even get me started on the way it was shot with the literal darkness on screen that made sure there was nothing to see. Just uurh.
Other highlights include:
“Alec is like this because he tried to help me find Clary” - no, he fucking didnt, you lying manipulative woman
“The Clave can be reasoned with, werewolves cant” - ahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH
“Our side doesnt kill werewolves” - see above^^ reaction
“I dont like to be rushed” - HOT DAMN
“My phone died, amongst other things” - aah, vampire humour
